Pixie Kobichenko 1,883 Posted July 9 Why was it sold? There was no google news results for linden labs being sold. Just weeks old stuff for Sansar. Does this mean SL is having money issues or what? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grumpity Linden 1,287 Posted July 9 In all seriousness -- this really really is a good thing. We’re excited for the opportunities it presents and we’re rock solid sure of the bright future of SL. And with that… NFC 13 15 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lindal Kidd 16,588 Posted July 9 "This was news to us too"? Either Ebbe is flat out lying (but probably not, given Grumpity's comment above), or it's Fake News (again, probably not, given Grumpity) or he's massively uninformed for a CEO. NFC, my ass. 6 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I watch too much true crime, which maybe lends me to be really suspicious, plus I worked for AOL when Time Warner bought it & we all know how great that turned out.... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pauleh 14 Posted July 9 Just hoping that this isn't the money grubbing, run it into the ground and throw it away when it doesn't work kind of investment group. 👀 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teresa Firelight 13 Posted July 9 (edited) No offense intended Grumpity, but your answer sounds more like something you have to say an LL employee than something you are sincerely convinced of.... I dont see how this is a rock solid for sure bright future for SL... seems like a big scary unknown to me... If you know more that is reassuring, I would love to hear it Edited July 9 by Teresa Firelight fix typo 11 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gopi Passiflora 340 Posted July 9 I just hope they won't take away multiple alternate accounts for one e-mail, that's all. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CinnamonMousse 15 Posted July 9 I'm not surprised, actually. I always figured Ebbe would want to sell Second Life once his beloved Sansar was gone. I am hoping that this move is going to give SL the support it needs from its investors/owners to help it grow and thrive. Personally, I see this as a good thing. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
