I sent an email to Xbox LIVE's Major Nelson yesterday, with a link to the Sunday Musing about Avatar items:
Three ways to improve the Avatar Marketplace on Xbox LIVE.
I'm not sure if the email goes directly to him or just through an assistant of some kind, but I assume the person on the other end was the Major (at worst, someone associated with him). There is some good news, that being we'll get more free Avatar updates in the future. Here was the response:
quoteThanks. I’ll pass this along. Also, there will continue to be free items, so the first bullet point is not completely accurate.
Pretty cool, if you ask me. Now I'm hoping those updates come soon. I need to review
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. It came nearly two weeks late, but I still gotta take care of it.
