Second Life will slowly be engulfed in impenetrable digital kudzu
Or knights searching for the Holy Grail.

Remember when it used to be frowned upon here to inject politics into unrelated threads?

Ordinarily I avoid doing so, but the joke was too apt and the actual topic too trivial that I decided to go for it.

Eh, no big surprise there, as with most OSS it’s just not documented very well.

No no… that’s indeed all the stuff that I thought was hilarious.

If I was the king of the internet I would ban advertising transactions like that as sales or offering lifetime subscriptions. Make them put a definite time frame on it and commit to that.

Nope. Good manners and the internet have mutual restraining orders against each other.

So, that’s what’s happening to our polar bears! That, and a few thousand other species. All this time I thought it was our fault. Well, that’s a relief.

"My name is Ozibunnyrabbit, Thing of Things;
Look on my Static Mesh, ye Lonely, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that virtual Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
@Mister44, Mr and Mrs Eldritch obviously thought that Malkavyn was a perfectly cromulent name. 
@Elex_Dusk, Does Second Life still include an elusive mastermind called Osama Bin Linden?
Real toys break as well too.
But isn’t this a bit more like a lawyer coming around and taking a hammer to your TNMT Action Figures because the IP has changed hands?
@lolipop_jones, in the modern political climate there are no “unrelated threads”

Is it p0rn?
No. Companies go out of business and replacement parts are no longer available or the toy is just old and breaks.

DRM is a tactic of government repression on behalf of corporations. It isn’t really completely unrelated.
Edit - Dorothy Parker on Emily Post’s book of Etiquette - “The letters and conversation of the correct, as quoted by Mrs. Post, seem scarcely worth the striving for.”

To all the angry “but it’s just virtual bunnies (lol) on Second Life! (snarf!)”
I know, right!
It’s not like we’d ever have to worry about REAL food and things being affected.
It’s not like, oh, someone is going to put DRM on, what a TRACTOR? That’s unpossible.
