You can’t be serious. Second Life is 1) a full game 2) wasn’t crowd-funded to the tune of $166m of gamer money

So they previously said they won’t sell land and this beacon nonsense is just to pretend they’re not going back on their word?
They’re likely selling beacons as a defense against being sued later. The beacon asset probably exists in some digital form, whereas the land does not and cannot be quantified in a purchase. This is not only a cash grab, it’s an overt cash grab with a built-in legal defense.
I’d been assuming he got to the middle of the cube first.
It’s understandable that a Norse god wouldn’t get a reference to the Hebrew one.
Did 22 Cans ever give him what they promised? Or anything at all?
His name is Bryan. With a y. He doesn’t deserve shit.
He’s not the Messiah. …
I never took you for an anti-y-ite, Bryan. Oops, I mean, Brian.
I am REALLY interested to see if there are actually any whales buying the beacons. I mean, despite all the negative press, people can’t be that stupid, right? Right?
I will FUCKING cut you.
It’s Brain.
Or Pinky. I’m still not sure. Narf!
So, now we have a better idea of how they are doing this year:
They are now at $170.9 million total and $30.3 millions in 2017 so far. They likely won’t hit the $36 million of 2015 and 2016, barring really good December sales, but they might very well do better than 2014.
It does seem funding is drying slightly (probably we’ll see a 5% decline YoY?, we’ll see, December has been a very varied month for them income wise). I do think we’ll see the project hit $200 million next year, even if it starts slowing further.
