Even if LL responds to the protests and steps back and does not go through with the price increase on the OS but rather finds a technical solution, it matters very little to me at this stage of the "game." I doubt I am the only one who looks at the situation in the same way. I believe there are many others who feel the same way.
Essentially, I can no longer TRUST the management of Second Life. I have set all my future plans aside to expand my business in land development in SL. I will not expand, but now retreat. When trust is breached in such a way to announce a 67% increase in price and THEN ask for feedback? This is about the worst example of poor management I have ever seen in the business world, and I have been in business in RL for a very long time.
There is never a fine line between fraudulent or incompetent business practices. I would like to give LL the benefit of the doubt here. But which one is more favourable? Fraud or incompetency? Is there another alternative? I don't see one. Maybe someone out there can offer another explanation for this outrageous announcement of this 67% increase. But the damage is done, so I guess it doesn't really matter. Does it?

People and companies make mistakes. The proper way to deal with them is to admit your mistakes and do what you can to correct them. But in Jack's latest announcement he is still sticking to the absurd contention that Open sims were always intended for light use.
It is impossible to reconcile Jacks statement that Openspaces were always intended for light use, and LL's decision to increase their prim count to 3750.
This claim is so disingenuous it is insulting that he keeps repeating it. I fear that regardless of how they eventually resolve this issue, the deceitful and underhanded way they have approached this announcement has severely undermined the relationship between LL and their customers. This wound is going to take a long, long time to heal if ever.

. It all has to do with temperament. I am not given to trust a person or organization ever again if that trust was breached in way that LL has breached it. My temperament may be a curse at times, but at least I will seldom be called a fool. |
