Remember all the commercial "failures" of Second Life? I've written about them time and again here on this and the other blog. And time and again I have said and said it's about the 'culture' of Second Life as to whether a commercial effort will be successful or not.

Those that just jump-in to jump-on the bandwagon without paying attention to how that wagon is moving and where it's head to will end-up where they don't want to be, without fail.

Fail.

So, of course, when a commercial entity of any kind decides the are going to pull out of any efforts, or even just scale-back any efforts in Second Life, that mean Second Life itself is a complete failure, right? Second Life itself will be dead and gone within months, days, hours or minutes.


No shit.

These idiotic journalists who simply don't have a clue as to what they report are hilarious at best and complete disgraceful liars at worst. It's almost totally comical. They are about as in touch with the real world as a politician. That goes for just about anything they write about, too.

Now, to be fair, I do know it is the boneheaded clueless editor who writes the headlines and not the author of the story. but for crying out loud, can you at least try just a little harder to not be so sensationalist with your bullshit?

Please?

Game almost over for Second Life | Australian IT: "Last month, Tourism Victoria pulled the pin on an investment in the ABC's Second Life Island, where it had built a replica of the popular Lanes precinct on the island to promote it as a tourist destination. Tourism Victoria said the investment, albeit small, was no longer worthwhile."
