New: Imprudence 1.2 beta viewer for Second Life

Reader Comments (4)

I'm just curious as to why Imprudence receives recurring press time, while I've yet to witness a GreenLife Emerald article on Massively? Particularly since many of these features listed above have been in Emerald for at least a month (and several are specifically pointed out as being brought in from Emerald's development directly).

I've also heard that LL itself reported during an office hours that Emerald has reached 30-40% concurrency usage (and climbing rapidly), which surely would mean that it is the #2 Viewer, behind the Official Release.

I appreciate learning about these other development lines, and Tateru always does an excellent job at gathering the details. I am just curious why this one Viewer seems to receive more attention?

We haven't been able to verify the licensing status of most of the other viewers. "Contributory infringement" isn't a very nice term. More than half of the available third-party and after-market viewers appear to be (or have been) in infringement of copyrights and licenses.

It's a tangle to sort out and we've just not had the time to do all the necessary legwork to sort it out. Imprudence is the only one that we've verified with certainty.

Thanks for the explanation, Tateru. I knew there had to be a reason, as "casual oversight" is not something I would use to describe your journalism. :)
