| Openspace Rationale
I asked Jack, during his office hour, for the rationale behind requiring us to own an expensive estate in order to purchase an Openspace. His answer was "openspaces were provided as a perk for island owners so that they could have the same forms of ocean as Linden Lab has on its estate. The idea was that if we can do that, we should allow island owners to do so to be fair to them."
That may have been their original intention, but it's not a valid explanation for what happened, namely that estate owners lost loads of equity and are having to radically retool their business models at a substantial loss, and people are popping singular Openspaces onto the grid with no attachment to continental estates.
Jarod tells me I'm being deliberately obtuse and refusing to see the logic behind the complexities of the societal forces that Linden Lab are dealing with. Am I? |
