I'm impressed by your resume citing your vast experience in video game development. I truly hope you can bring your undoubtedly vast skill set into focus to improve Second Life. I admit to being skeptical here seeing as how Second Life isn't really a game. There is no great puzzle to solve, no coveted level to achieve, no uber boss to kill...no way to "win".
Second Life is not a game.
It is a medium of communication.
It is a living, growing, ever-changing extension of each resident's real-world self.
I enjoyed The Sims and Everquest immensly. Superb virtual environments that pioneered their respective gaming genres. But Second Life is neither of those genres. It has it's own genre. And it appeals to a greater diversity of residents than The Simas and Everquest combined. Second Life residents are not necessarily gamers. Please remember this fact as you lead Linden Labs.
