Many times the music producers on games make some AWESOME tracks, but they never see the light of day outside of the video game for which it was made. Couple that with the fact that the developer/producer usually holds the rights to the music, it could never be released to the outside public without having to pay royalties. This allows the artists to leverage that in a backwards motion, whereby they can sign to the label, release the tracks under the label, then have the tracks released to the game soundtrack.
