So the Xbox 360 avatars came and went. People were more or less blaise about it. When the word of charging for clothes came out, people blew off the concept altogether. The old adage does hold true however; give people free shit and they will pay attention.  Rare will be handing out clothes as an achievement prize.

“In time… games will be able to give away clothes and accessories just like Achievements,” said art head Lee Musgrave.  “We are currently working with multiple partners who have expressed interest in using Avatars,” added producer Stacey Law.

A good idea involving avatars? The end is nigh. In the above picture, I’m the Morpheus looking guy.  I have to make him taller.
