Hey Microsoft, take yer micropayments & shove 'em!

Matthew Green is angry.  And we like angry.  So we'd thought we'd do Matt a favor and post his thoughts right here on Joystiq.  So here's his take on Microsoft's proposed virtual storefront:

"Oh Microsoft, I know you're all hyped up to get your hands on a continuing revenue stream, but selling virtual items and decals is going to hurt gaming more than it helps it.  Yes, it will allow new levels and items to be added to games after they are released, but you're going to get greedy.  You always do.  You'll start shipping half-completed games that sell for full price and then expect us to pay $5 per level for the last half of the game.  You're going to send Master Chief into the fray unarmed and expect us to "customize his arsenal" (as you'll call it) by plunking down $2 per gun and $0.10 per ammo box."
