I see no use for the L$ option. Developers tend to have income in L$ and costs to cover in US$.

Ulrika, this thread is not about Anshe.

And, I suspect that this change will not materially effect anyone, except perhaps get rid of a minor hassle for SL which is probably why they did it.

"User-created content takes the idea of leveraging player opinions a step further by allowing them to effectively prototype new ideas and features. Developers can then measure which new concepts most improve the products and incorporate them into the game in future patches."

Clarification : L$ will not be supported for dev incentive awards

woops, sorry folks, my mistake....

we will not be able to convert developer incentive awards to Linden $'s. Developer incentives are meant to be a way that we share revenue with residents and that revenue is meant to be shared in US$ only. My apologies for the confusion in this matter..
