Also, I don't see why people are all jumping on the furry thing...
Yeah, I'm not a fan of furries, either, but I don't hate the people who are furries. I just hate their porn, that's all.

That you strutted your cat-eared, furry-booted and easily ridiculed avatar out there for all the world to see, and spoke of it and your game in gently amused and interested, rather than scathing tones, is just a wee bit awesome.

Home feels like a more polished version of Second Life's but with everything creative stripped from it along with almost all forms of freedom completely gone. If I could atleast have the freedom to create to an extent with an approval process in the vein of LBP I'd be much happier.
As it stands though, Second Life gives so much freedom that it tends to end up either being overwhelming leaving you with too many things to do and nothing really feeling worth while. While Home left me feeling far too limited in being able to do anything. Even making an avatar I didn't hate was too difficult to achieve.

I think the point would have come across better with walking penises, giant robots, and alien spaceships. Naked furries isn't really pushing the boundaries of creativity.

Those people at Linden Labs totally deserve more money than whatever they're paid.

It's nice to see the service looked at objectively and not disparaged at every turn.
I'm actually beginning to think that all the negative critical press the service has been receiving is a good thing ... much like the PSP and PS3 in their first year, people will probably burn out on complaining about Home within the next month or so and go back to doing whatever it is that people who harbor staggering amounts of scary negative emotions about video games do.
Yes, Home in its current incarnation is limited, but there are still thousands and thousands of users enjoying the space, and when I'm in it all I can see is potential.
The ball is in Sony's court (and in some cases 3rd party devs) ... lets see if they can tap that potential.

Taken at face value, a lot(if not all) of online open worlds are boring. There is no gun in your hands, no leader telling you where to shoot. You can kinda do a lot of things, or nothing at all. It depends what the world provides and what you put into it.
