Linden Labs expands - Purchases SLX and OnRez

If you haven't heard yet, Linden Labs (LL) the makers of Second Life have purchased the two premier web stores that provide shopping for in world items. If you are interested in the analysis the lovely Gweneth Llewelyn's thoughts are the ones to read right here. My personal thought is that this isn't that bad, it's unlikely that LL is so stupid as to completely integrate into the client/server structure, if they did they would be killing their land business. However, it is possible that we are heading to more of a ghettoized envrionment with OpenGrid and other things built with the same technology. It will happen eventually, I just didn't think it would be this quickly. My thoughts on that could fill textbooks so that's a post for another day.

We as a company do sell on both SLX and OnRez and will continue to do so, but to really see our designs you should come to our mainstore. I'll buy you your drink of choice, virtually of course.
