art and commerce are not mutually exclusive. I might remind some of you that it was RightAsRain Rimbaud who opened his wallet and his mind to handful of artists in SL to make all the things you've enjoyed at the Rezzable sims possible. do you suppose that RAR and all the creators who work for him are altruists with no bills of their own to pay? I would hope it's obvious that we care about SL and making it a richer experience- and this experiment at Black Swan isn't about "mindless commercialization". It's about trying to stay here and continue to bring you the best of what SL can be. don't make me get all Jimmy Stewart on you, here... :P
