Comments on: This is a Really Really Bad Idea http://alphavilleherald.com/2004/12/this_is_a_reall.html Always Fairly Unbalanced Tue, 04 Oct 2016 13:18:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Jim Purbrick http://alphavilleherald.com/2004/12/this_is_a_reall.html/comment-page-1#comment-48382 Jim Purbrick Tue, 21 Dec 2004 09:04:21 +0000 http://localhost/wp_2/?p=2604#comment-48382 I think there are some interesting potential conflicts here. Linden want to make SL as shiny and attractive to newbies as possible, so want lots of cheap or free high quality content, which Neverland clearly is. The residents toiling to create content want to be able to charge money for it and so don't want to be undercut by Linden giving lots of content away for free. In this case I think the Linden sponsored content should just grow the pie by attracting more residents who will eventually pay for resident created content. I think we'll see more potential conflicts between the interests of Linden and the residents as SL grows though. It will be interesting to see how the relationship develops.

We do NOT want Phillip and his minions trying to decide what's exciting or new or will get us to the next evolutionary peak (and I need to have a long talk with the guy about evolutionary theory, btw).

Here is my question: why does Ryen and the rest of you even *want* Linden support? This has never been make clear. I think the Simcast group has decided that if the Lindens go this route they aren't going to apply. Thanks for dropping by Torley.

Lets face it, 200 bux a month isn't a lot of money. If that's going to be the line between success and failure then SecondLife has a lot bigger problems..
