New on My Patreon: Brad Oberwager’s Mobile-Forward Second Life Future

Oberwolf avatar first attempt New World Notes

In part 2 of my interview with Linden Lab Executive Chair Bradford Oberwager, we get into the meat of how Linden Lab's recent re-org (discussed at length in part 1) is meant to help the current state of Second Life, how it relates to rumors of impending acquisition of the company and the recent gacha policy change announcement — and a mobile-forward future of Second Life that's coming sooner than you might think.

Plus something about his first attempt to customize an SL avatar (right) and a crucial wolf tattoo.

    If CEO Oberwager wants to regain trust I would recommend he starts with clarifying how Linden Lab is selling its private island product in secret to certain individuals in world for lower prices compared to other customers, while his company refuses to even admit that they are doing this.
    Secret tier discounts have been going on for many many years. Allowing certain Estates in Second Life to offer private regions and Homestead islands at rates nobody can even compete with because those individuals are receiving secret pricing discounts while others need to pay full price for Linden Lab their private island product.
    I am not talking about grandfathered rates even here. Those individuals are happily selling full sims and homestead islands at prices which would put anyone out of business who needs to pay normal rates or normal grandfathered rates.
    Nice scam CEO Oberwager that has been going on for many many years with your company. If you want to regain trust why don’t you start with making your product pricing public like a normal company would do?
    Linden Lab are known to be a bunch of charlatans so how are you doing to change that when you cannot even facilitate a fair and open market?
