Yeah, I can understand as a guy who's been familiar with the site for over 10 years, how the sudden change could be a shock. I think it's a legitimate question, one that can be answered without insulting anyone.
You're speaking for the community?
I didn't take offense and I figured the topic would pop up, I respect the question/opinion or whichever it is and I agree that the OP doesn't need to be chided over asking. OCR would only be a sell-out if they started releasing remixes you had to buy exclusively. They're not doing that with everything, just this album. You could call it the "sell out album" but it doesn't detract from the free mixes in the past or future that will still be there. This album is an interesting experiment, and while I don't necessarily understand the need to release a commercial album, I support it and I hope to see it succeed. I do think it's sad that not as many people will be able to hear the music due to the release limitations of it being official. If Capcom does a good job of getting the word out, it should be ok, but so far their promotion of it has been pretty small.
And just to add... Whenever someone posts a thread that is critical or questions something about an OCR standard, they get insulted or ridiculed, or people post jokes or memes. Every single time. And it's disturbing because people are encouraged to make a thread (by say Larry or djp, et al) if they have a criticism or question about standards or anything. It is probably the most embarrassing thing about the OCR community.
