While I am not the fanboy type, for a long time I did have a pretty good relationship with LL. I have become much more disillusioned over the past few years, especially with Philip.
I still love Second Life, but admittedly I spend much more time doing stuff for it than actually in it these days. Every time I do venture in, it seems just when I start to have fun, then the craptastic thing goes to hell. Bah, I am not particlarly pleased with SL all around right now. Sorry for the rant. |
I'd love Second Life if they would go back to caring about the residents. I myself don't have a paid account - at one point I considered it, and then Linden Lab went on doing all the juvenile things that they tend to do, and I just decided it was a poor idea to pay for something that wasn't fixed up to my specifications. I'm sure at some point, Linden Lab will eliminate my account without any wounds to them, and at this point I could give two shits.
The amount of bullshit they display regarding their residents is kindergarten at best. Obviously, we've come full circle and Philip's lack of understanding on how to run a company is showing.
Of course, we all could have seen this sort of reaction (lack thereof) from Linden Lab at the previous-to-recent SLCC, where Philip took off like a bat out of hell to do something else instead of hanging around, talking to the residents and actually taking an interest in his company.
Looks like we've been had, folks. It's not that Second Lifers are looked down upon as geeks; I'm beginning to think that we're looked down upon by society because we're willing participants in the biggest fucking get rich scheme ever.
