Interesting article! Very well done! It’s good to see interactive fiction (also known as text adventure games) get more of the attention it deserves.
In the same vein, there’s a modern day interactive fiction publisher releasing new works of commercial interactive fiction that I think people
should know about. This interactive fiction publisher is Malinche Entertainment. Their website is http://www.malinche.net and they’ve got a
lot to offer anyone interested in interactive fiction/text adventure games.

I always got the impression that the purpose of SL was to make money for something else, ever since I saw Rosedale talk about his ideas regarding AI and distributed development models. His development model spun off into love machine, inc. Now I guess Humble has his own designs for the revenue we give him. If LL put their revenue back into SL we wouldn’t have as many problems.

The best cyber-for-hire writers might hone their craft as escorts in SL but again, why would they write for LL? ZindraMOO?

, “the company has seen a decline in the number of hobbyists and small businesses willing to pay a monthly subscription fee to rent server space to host their virtual world on the site” and Lewis Ward of IDC states, “the popularity of Second Life has been leveling off”.

Gonna kick off the ol suck-life style and into the iPad movement?

So… they’re making an iPad client for a MUSH/MOO (http://wikipedia.org/wiki/MUSH)? Or perhaps they imagine this won’t be multi user… in which case… uh, they’re joining the Inform (http://inform-fiction.org) on iPad/iPhone world?
