Recently SL is starting to get some more negative or possibly backlash from the press. Why is this? Could it be that it didn’t perform to the preconceived notions of the marketers and promoters that entered into it? Was it oversold by Metaverse development companies? Is this another case of us all getting stroked by the hype machine? I think probably a combination of factors. Mainly I feel SL is like life. You come into it with a blank canvass (yes I’m accounting for genetics and environment) and make of it what you can visualize and produce.
Here are a couple of interesting discussions( here and here) on these and related issues. What is most noteworthy, is the good stuff is as much in the responses as the original blog posts.
