Is Linden Lab neglecting the community too much, in favour of corporate/education, and is that a good long-term strategy?

  • Yes, although the recent focus on corporate/education will not change the income of LL, which comes mostly from the community (36%)
  • Maybe; I have absolutely no idea, even looking at the little data we have from Linden Lab (17%)
  • No, they aren't neglecting the community, but income from corporate/education will not replace income generated from the community (14%)
  • Linden Lab hasn't provided enough data for me to answer that (14%)
  • Yes, and income from corporate/education will quickly replace any eventual losses from community income (8%)
  • No, they were neglecting business/education too much, and that's where the real money is (6%)
  • Their approach is now balanced, since they tended to favour the community too much in the past and didn't make enough income from that (4%)
  • Their approach is now balanced, as it always was (1%)
