Bank Run in Second Life

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the just-like-in-the-first-one dept.

Jamie found an interesting bit about a bank run in Second Life. The recent ban on gambling combined with a $12k theft from the 2L stock market has caused people to try to get their money back. The article mentions that this could supposedly affect 8.5M players even tho most estimates of actual hard core players in the system are in the 5 to low 6 figure range.

    This has nothing to do with Sony. It has everything to do with a grudge that UbuntuDupe has been carrying around for well over a year. His reference to "smug" and "condescending" replies are a sideswipe at an attempt at a helpful response I made to him in relation to the use of the term "price point" in a Nintendo article prior to the Wii launch.

    As I admitted in another post, I was being overly simplistic. You weren't being 'overly simplistic,' you were being 'utterly wrong, and dangerously misleading.'
