Your search skills fail hard. There is already a Masnick Effect. It refers to industry incumbents who, when presented with a new business model that can save their industry, point out all sorts of meaningless exceptions for why it can't work, only to be shown more models where it does. From the article linked above: "It only works for bands with established bases. Or bands that have no base, and nothing to lose. Or bands that have some fans, and are trying to attract more."
But now they'll come back and whine that there's no business models for promoting video game music. So let me suggest one.
When the game makes it, or at least doesn't tank right out of the gate, it's time to release an album. Then the music pundits will be tripping over themselves to introduce you. "Dave, whose music is featured on the hit new first person shooter musical Gears of Band Camp, has release his latest album Sounds from Dave's Guitar. Buy it now where ever music is sold!" Then use that success to get featured on the next game soundtrack and when that game is released, you release another album as featured artist of the new hit game. Lather, rinse, repeat.
I came up with that as I was typing it, so like two minutes. I'm sure someone could actually take some time to think about it and come up with a really good one.
Put together a MythTV linux media center with 8.1 channel audio and an HD projector. Beam that across the room for 103" screen on the far wall. All paid for by my canceled cable TV subscription.
