Requested a screenshot so I can delve further.

Considering over half the of the team fit into the category of LGBT and that there are several Trans people on the team, what you are saying is eye popping. If you are accusing us of levity and frivolity then we're probably guilty as charged. Trick is to see the lighter side of life whenever possible. Sorry if you expected everything to be deadly serious upon your visit.. but we are happy people, celebrating our Pride.. and being a gay owned estate for 13 years with a huge amount of LGBT visitors, I'm surprised you were offended upon your visit. I see that on your last visit you were wearing a car on your head. Could that have anything to do with your gripe? Cheers, Torric.

How about a hover text: Current Prize is: "whatever" .. up to the user if they pay 50L for what is shown. They may have to play umpteen times until the prize they want comes up.. but you could never say it was random, since the resident would know exactly what they were purchasing each time they pay the machine.

I predict that people will change their machines to show the next 5 or 6 prizes in sequence, meaning that you have to pay the Gacha a known amount of times to get the big prize, or elect not to play at all if the prize you want is not shown. If you knew the sequence of prizes, would this obviates the 'random chance' element and therefore make it 'legal'? Furthermore if you display the next 5 prizes only and the big prize is actually 20 turns away, you could still say that those buying the 5 on display, still knew exactly what they were buying. Thus its no longer a game of chance. Actually you could just show the 'now' and 'next' prize in a hover text.. up to the resident if they want to buy it, and move ever closer to the big prize? Would that be a solution?

Black Dragon - Falling through a platform that I've built
Torric Rodas replied to Ivy Kiko's topic in Second Life Viewer
Seen this too on region crossings and on tp fails from platforms in the sky. I've got a platform at 3000m that I fall through more often than on region crossing, so it could be height related. As observed earlier, region restart seems to fix, but is hardly a desirable solution. -
LINDEN RESEARCH, INC. TO BE ACQUIRED
Torric Rodas replied to Milk Pixelmaid's topic in General Discussion Forum
Given the surge of SL during covid and the forthcoming uplift to the cloud, it is likely that it's success has piqued the interest of investors; especially as it bucks the trend where multiple other similar platforms have failed. This could be a good thing in terms of growth. First order of business however, is usually to restructure, which obviously causes some turbulence. Clearly they didn't want Sansar in this package, hence it got offloaded. -

Sounds the same as those who rent music streams for L$, so I would imagine it's fine to do so.

A brief note on pricing changes, which ran long.
Torric Rodas replied to Grumpity Linden's topic in General Discussion Forum
Paying Premium annually gives a cash injection to the Lab for all these goodies. No one willingly wants to pay more for anything ever, but being realistic, if we want the infrastructure to continually improve, we have to pay our hosts to do it. And to the basic account users who see themselves as paying their way from Market Place purchases, yes this is still revenue you pay to the lab, but Premium accounts also make Market Place purchases too!
