Two thumbs up for micro transactions. I am not saying they are all good news. I am not even saying I know it will be good for me. I am saying it could be good for some people and that might include me. Of course people who are afraid of the Evil Empire will think the worst of micro transactions but you know, a bad product doesn't sell for very long and a bad producer eventually goes bankrupt.
