Comments on: Why I think Second Life will fail and virtual worlds will succeed http://chrisg.org/why-i-think-second-life-will-fail-and-virtual-worlds-will-succeed/ Chris Garrett's Personal Blog Fri, 09 Jul 2010 01:16:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Nate http://chrisg.org/why-i-think-second-life-will-fail-and-virtual-worlds-will-succeed/#comment-147 Nate Wed, 04 Apr 2007 02:58:06 +0000 http://www.chrisg.org/2007/01/31/why-i-think-second-life-will-fail-and-virtual-worlds-will-succeed/#comment-147 I'm looking forward to seeing who loses the most money when it collapses. Sony or Telstra? Virtual worlds are a load of crap, All this talk of "business drive" is complete drivel, these are virtually useless products in virtually useless worlds and only virtual idiots buy up on all the virtual crap. Translated to the real world, the users of these systems aren't a target demographic because they're already stating the "real world" isn't good enough for them by being members of a virtual one. Big business is going to flush so much cash into these stupid systems its laughable. Do you like the excessive use of the word "Virtual"? A commonly used word back in the 90's, it sat right up there with other stupid buzz words like "boo". Ahh, boo.com... A web faux par, quite aptly inserted here.

An open system (even better, an Open system) should be successful in ways that aren't possible in a closed proprietary system (yes, they let you create objects in-world, and upload images as textures (for a fee), but it's all done under the close watch of The Company) Completely agree.
