YAY! Finally we can tune these things to the way we want them to be. Also the same needs in OpenSim git a proverbial leg (or something) up.

The idea is that Furnation uses the profits from the sales of Sex beds to fund their various sims used for the furry community. Let’s face it; sex sells, it always has. Xcite!, a leading producer of sex toys itself is one of the biggest industries in SL next to virtual real estate.
To have Stroker give out his famed sexgen bed base system full permissions means anyone can have a high quality toy for their love making in the world, and no one needs to buy anything from a retailer. And since Sex is one of the biggest imports SL has to the internet community, this is a huge financial blow. This is going to affect the existence of whole sims for quite some time.

All this does is force people using old outdated content to lower their prices…

Or perhaps make better -looking- furniture / lower prim furniture their competition point.

These devices have long been over-priced in SL, but that was largely driven by extreme costs of getting a license to use one of the animation systems.

Now the back-engine can be free, allowing costs to go down to what it takes to fund the other elements of a finished design.

Why do people fight over virtual products that can be replicated with a click of a mouse? Is this ethical?

There are so many other things in the world people can do to help others. Perhaps the content creators who make these things should think about other things they can make irl. The reason why is that its unethical to intimidate people just for business. It scares noobs and makes the environment inhospitable.

Agreed. My Bed sales has never been higher and I sell the most expensive bed in SL, for good reason GL Stroker.

All I know is there are way better animations out there. That engine was set out there for free to try to bring the industry crashing down. If you ask me all you did was help the businesses that keep their line of products and animations fresh. Guess if Stroker spent more time working on making newer products and animations rather than looking at who was the next person he could sue, he might have been a continued success like many businesses still are years later. Well at least he gave to the noobs in the end. I don’t think this is the last of it though. He probably had some new idea and wanted to establish a completely new business. Every person who makes their RL income in SL, is not going to just give up their business the way he did. He’s lurking in the shadows still. But as for other animation and bed seller’s worrying. LOL, I have spoken to many of them. Sales continue to increase in spite of Mr. Serpentine’s stunt.

@ GG3

Ouch…

A little overzealous in our elitism aren’t we?

Yet another armchair loudmouth troll in SL.

Yet another loser…

LOL, If this is the same Content Maker that I met in Inworldz, He is a nice guy and very likable. Someone must have pulled his chain and made him mad.
Don’t judge him by this post.
