Microsoft Rumored To Buy Second Life

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the get-a-first-life dept.

Jamie noticed a rumor making the rounds: Microsoft buying Second Life. Nobody is confirming or denying anything, much less announcing anything sounding like a price. Or a reason why this makes any sense to anyone.

    I'm betting Microsoft is seeing the money they can make from furries.

    I had an SL avatar, ran it into a furry hangout, oh look, a stripper pole. I get on it, leave to take care of something that needed urgent attention, come back and I've suddenly got the equivalent of $50USD.

    I didn't do a damned thing and made $50. Furries are unusually un-thrifty with their money, it seems.

    It's a good time to script a throwing chair animation for Second Life then.
