So whatever happened to this piece of shit?
I thought open Beta was supposed to start earlier this year? Did it already fail and LL is trying to bury it?

They're rolling out another Beta wave this summer some time. They're trying play up calling it the Wordpress of VR now.
They also invoked fucking Kotaku.

I can at least understand their motivation. VR could actually use a publishing and development tool that someone can casually use. At very least, it would increase the amount of content available.
But Kotaku is kill.

The open beta in spring got delayed to summer
Last I checked, they never stated WHEN in summer, but the twitter account for Sansar seems to still be talkin of the summer open beta so I guess unless something goes wrong at the last minute, we should see the doors finally open for either Wow's or disappointment in the next month

They're calling it "the creator beta," they don't care about the regular user experience right now.
That said, the scripting process is abysmal and I really hope they do something about it.

It's an actual avatar. Pic related, on the left side.
He's got a face accessory (the furry head laid over the human face), and bracelet accessories (hands + bat wings).
Also human legs because it's not possible to make foot accessories yet.

It's not SL2. There's no way Sansar is going to replace SL, or probably even entice many SL users to switch over.

I am >>40204 and in its current state, absolutely not. >>40459 summed it up pretty well. There is literally nothing you CAN do in Sansar as a regular user currently. No custom animations, no interaction (you can't "touch" things or sit on them).
If you have VR, you can pick physical things up and throw it, but that's literally it.

They'll change their tune once they realize how unprofitable it is. I know they probably have lingering regrets with how SL ended up turning out into a shithole full of non-stop degeneracy. Sansar is just wishful thinking, what they wanted SL to be like, accepted as a mainstream platform, respectable, no social stigma attached to it. In the end they'll realize people won't care about it unless they can use it as a platform for adult stuff.

Does it matter? If Sansar gets pushed to the wayside it will 100% include adult content again to wring it for nickels and dimes to keep afloat. If it explodes into massive mainstream success other products will try to grab up niche markets around it.

I'm in two minds about that.
1. LL is not just trying to get rid of adult content, but trying to make a platform with a HEAVY focus on VR. I honestly don't think the VR audience is big enough to profit from, even if only around the level of SL's decline.
2. LL has to eventually realize #1 and either shut it down (possible, but not probable) or salvage it financially by relaxing on adult content.
While I'm pretty excited to see how Sansar goes, I don't think it'll actually be viable for the end-user for *at least* two more years, assuming they're already kicked into high gear. It's probably too early to even make guestimates.
