In other words, you're playing a racing game online, and the player who paid extra money wins over the better driver. Then you have pay MS yourself to level the playing field.

Totally unfair for any kind of player-vs-player games.

I completely agree with this point, though I'd like to add I also have a problem with having to pay to get widget X when I already bought the game in the first place.
