PS3 Home or Minecraft?

[Vivienne Schell]

Something like Mesh Studio is really nice - but if Linden Lab had introduced it as a system tool i´d call it a showstopper design. Face it, each step beyond using the default, native creation tools basically is one too many if you base a virtual environment on user creativity. That´s my point. All the tools you mentioned are some kind of workaround, and by far not the best, most effective and system compatible solutions.

Regarding mesh clothes, avatars and whatever: Same trouble. Inadequate formats due to a lack of adequate tools.

Not everything is bad in Linden World, of course. SL works, it is profitable and still seems to attract enough people to pay Linden salaries and maintainance. But It will not grow anymore. It never was easy to handle, but now it has become waym way, way too complicated for the user to be more than just another niche within a niche. Which is okay, but also a missed opportunity.
