Second Life devs, PlayStation Home, and flattery
During the GDC, PlayStationUniverse (PSU) was able to sneak by the Linden Lab booth and ask one of the them about their thoughts on PlayStation Home. A lot of people have compared it to their Second Life MMO after all, so why not ask the devs themselves of their take on Sony‘s big project. We’re sure some of you are curious about it, too.
Jeff Luan of Linden Labs responded to Phil Harrison‘s keynote in which he revealed PS Home with: “Mimicry is the greatest form of flattery for us.” While he’s supportive of Sony’s project and says that it’s great for console gamers, he doesn’t seem to be worried about how it will affect their MMO title on the PC. The PS3 and PC have different markets and it’s kinda like comparing apples and oranges, and whatnot.
While Microsoft and Nintendo are having a fuss about it, the good thing about this is that Linden Lab remains positive about PlayStation Home. Friendly competition, that’s how things are played.
