As I was saying the other day, trust between residents and the Lab has taken a severe battering.
Today I teleported into a new (to me) sim by accident. There was no land, only water. Perhaps it had always been intended that way. But perhaps it had been intended for something more …
I sank through the waves until I reached the ocan floor – a constructed one. It was tiled, the same message on all the tiles, over and over again.
“This was a dream Killed by Linden Labs”
I will repeat what I said the other day. The Lab has a helluva lot of hard work to do to regain the trust of residents.
And awarding prizes for “an innovative inworld project that improves the way people work, learn and communicate in their daily lives outside of the virtual world” will not do this either. It smacks of an oil company with an appalling record of spillages donating a generous cheque to a seabird sanctuary. In other words, it’s very nice, and thank you, but please clean up your act first!
Remember Yeats …
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet,
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams
