Pixie Kobichenko 2,056 Posted July 9 Share 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? Link to post Share on other sites

Grumpity Linden 1,325 Posted July 9 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

Lindal Kidd 17,597 Posted July 9 Share 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 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Pauleh 15 Posted July 9 Share 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. 👀 11 Link to post Share on other sites
Teresa Firelight 63 Posted July 9 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

Gopi Passiflora 379 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I just hope they won't take away multiple alternate accounts for one e-mail, that's all. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
CinnamonMousse 15 Posted July 9 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
