The Corporate Invasion of Second Life

Tyburn Franklie writes "Second Life is entering its 'second phase'. With big-name brands colonizing its virtual earth and the media getting worked up into a frenzy of hype, the alternative world is looking more and more like the old one. There are even worries about virtual office etiquette (sorry guys: no guns in the office). And now Linden Labs has words of warning for would-be corporate warriors seeking a Second Life: 'If you are not authentic and do not offer anything to the community, you are likely to be ignored, at best.' Sage advice — whatever world you're in." A lot of overhype here, I think.

A lot of overhype here, I think.

Really, ya think? Then stop posting these stupid articles for a game few people play and less even like. Leave your dumb little comments and just post stuff worthy of news. I know Slashdot has biases, but they shouldn't be shown by the editors. You blaming Sony for bum fights for PS3s and then retracting and saying they are only PARTIALLY responsible just shows how over the edge you really are. I think your game reviews are fine. I used to even defend you from posts like this. But enough is enough...I really hope you can start acting like a professional...otherwise I am going to join the choir of people singing for your replacement.
