This is a good point and destroys any kind of discussion about micro transactions for me. Micro transactions are NEVER micro. You dont see free games asking you to buy $0.1 worth of gold, they want $10. The same would happen if guru3D wanted to charge individual users. NYTimes made maybe 0.1 out of every user visiting them, but switching to subscription model they milk ~$12 per month minimum.
