So, when all is said and done, if you take the Linden official line at face value, they believe that residents would be willing to pay US$125/mo for a sim that can only be used for transitory, decorative purposes. The boatload of prims they provide is to be spent on trees, rocks and boulders so that the occasional resident can stroll through (but not linger too long) or sail through. And since they suspended the requirement that OSS needed to be physically adjacent to a specific estate island, they obviously think these little islands in the sea are just what, virtual sprinkles? The
SL equivalent of an Easter Egg that someone trips across by accident?
That is just so much bullshit. LL quite deliberately and obviously made these OSS as attractive as possible for light residential use, providing features that are wholly unnecessary for a purely decorative land parcel but ideal for a home.
