This is not good news for business owners, taking money out of Second Life. No matter how you look at it; there will be higher expenses on money transfer, a service that I expected was automated?
The cost also increases for buying Lindens - it's unfortunate. A lot of users will spend less money, earnings goes down and costs will go up.
One can only speculate why Linden Lab does this. I think we’re seeing the changes into the new financial mechanisms made for Project Sansar.
