Exclusive: Depeche Mode in Left 4 Dead 2 is a way to get their music out

VG247: Johnathan Kessler, the manager for Depeche Mode, has told VG247 that the band's inclusion in Valve's Left 4 Dead 2 was a way to get their music out to a younger generation.

"There is no storyline in the game with the band, as they do not appear in the game," Kessler told VG247 exclusively." Their music was included as a way to get their songs out there, so that the kids can be exposed to it in a way that differs from conventional radio."

As far as this being a stepping stone for the band to possibly be included in Rock Band or Guitar Hero in the future, Kessler says that there are "no plans for that at this time". (Left 4 Dead 2, PC, Xbox 360)
