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.

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. In 2008 we see the market shifting and have restructured our company to focus on large programs for our customers, while also building our own technology and software applications for virtual worlds. We are reorganizing our resources to better fit this focus and unfortunately that means losing some of our people. While this is difficult, we’re extremely positive about the future of the Metaverse and the company, and believe we have the best team in place to take The Electric Sheep Company and the industry to the next level.
