In my humble view, this is an incorrect take on what share alike means in the

license. Basically, it means you have to share under the same license, not at

the same price.
You do have to ask the question as to why someone would buy from a third party

versus get the music at no cost from the original writer / artist?
If someone does manage to make some decent money from that game, you could

just look at them as self hired, self funding promoters for you and your

music. There is no current SA license alone and the BY bit of the BY-SA being

discussed refers to attribution.

I guess someone could do a re-recording / re-mix of your music and being

the "artist" instead of you, they could be the one with the emotional

connection to the fan and thus the one the fan would be more likely to buy

from.
However, the BY-SA would require they use BY-SA on their recording and while

they could try and sell copies of their recording of your music, you could

use the license to legally give copies away and undercut them.
all the best,
