Second Life devs, PlayStation Home, and flattery

PlayStation Home flatters Second Life devs - Image 1


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.

 » Yeah
Because Second Life devs are happy Sony COPIED their game. They say "Sure they COPIED us, we are pleased they COPIED us, but it doesn't matter that they COPIED us, because by COPYING us, they flatter us, but COPYING our game for PS3, doesn't effect us, their COPY gives our game more publicity". :D

What's with all the 'COPYING' bol*@cks?! Nobody cares if the idea has been copied or not as long as it's good for us PS3 owners, in the long I care where the idea comes from, just gimme, gimme, gimme.

Yo Basher, thought I'd let you know that Home is not even a game. Its a 3d online community based launchpad for PS3 games not a game itself. There are games in the arcade yes but thats the stuff from the Playstation store. Oh and one more major difference is Home is free.
