Electric Sheep Company lays off 1/3 of their staff

"The Electric Sheep Company has gone through tremendous growth over the past year. We successfully serviced our great portfolio of clients and have built incredible applications to make virtual worlds easier."

I, on other hand.... don't think so. It's not a success if those clients are either lacking traffic by nearly Zero and or leaving SL for good.

I guess you could say it's a success to get`em suckers for paid commission job.

CSI:NY is still a failure while ton of SL residents has good success with steady traffic and profit flow in SL.

I can tell ESC is about to leave soon because most of the RL business clients they had (counting MOU's clients) are realizing their loss with SL-tards.

Harsh? Of course it is... but it's long over due.

Hi Nacon,
I would disagree, CSI is by far one of the most successful corporate experience to hit SL since it's inception. While CBS will not allow us to publicly state numbers, I can assure you that the numbers are very strong and continue to be so on a daily basis. There is a steady flow of large scale, daily traffic to the multiple sims up for this experience. Any experience that gets 4,000 visits per day seems pretty healthy to me.

It might be fun sport to trash experiences like CSI and others, but the fact of the matter is that these experiences attract new users to SL. And the ton of SL residents you mention above are benefiting from the users that content like CSI and I Am Legend continue to bring to SL.

Clients still like SL and feel that this is an innovative platform, we do here at ESC as well.

ESC has no intention of leaving SL, our focus is on opportunities like CSI and I Am Legend that drive new users into virtual worlds regardless of the platform.
