Sansar is a fail on so many levels before you even get to the VR aspect of it.It means there isn't a critical mass of people with vr headsets yet to support a purely-vr platform.
Yeah but they also just recently closed down all their company-run public spaces; behind the scenes, it would seem the two platforms might be facing similar issues.High Fidelity is pretty good (and actually has usable desktop navigation), and we just went down the "no, there isn't a critical mass there either" discussion.
Wutnow? What makes this different than any other LL layoff?I am feeling sad and angry. I have been arguing on Discord with people who think I shouldn't have posted that blogpost.
But it's news, I am not under a gag order by LL, and it impacts on the Sansar community. How could I not report on it?
yes cuz: IT'S THE END! FOR REAL THIS TIME! Believe me... LOLWutnow? What makes this different than any other LL layoff?
If that rumour is true, I wonder who would buy them?I heard a rumour Linden Lab got bought, about two/three weeks ago; I don’t fully trust the source (it was definitely a rumour), but that’d explain it.
someone with enough money that believed they saw the true potential of Second Life and had a plan to solve at least the most glaring problemsIf that rumour is true, I wonder who would buy them?
Oh wow, I wish!someone with enough money that believed they saw the true potential of Second Life and had a plan to solve at least the most glaring problems
Yeah, I know. It's just my Lutheran guilt kicking in. I'll be fine. But I had higher hopes for Sansar than most people did.Ryan, I have no idea why that Discord decided to go the toxic route of being whiny edgelords for a project that definitely wasn't going anywhere, but you did nothing wrong, man. You good.
That being said, I'm not super surprised that this is because of Sansar fallout. I guess all we can do is sit back and watch what steps LL will take to recoup.
