<div dir="ltr">Game modding is not a new activity; it's been going on for years and has even spawned completely new titles and distribution platforms (Steam). If the concern in competition, I suspect anyone who is considering jumping ship has already done so long ago (if they were even in the OpenSimulator camp to begin with).<br>

I see a lot of deep modding activities going on (at least in the visual domain) ... dunno how easy it is program object behaviors (but am sure this must be on their radar).<div>
In any case, am seeing a lot of role playing clips using GTA ... that I study e.g. the lcpd first response role play. I do see that customization is limited but can be easily improved ... what can happen is that as they inject content building tools, this might impact fps/gameplay and lead them to rediscover the problems SL/Opensim are dealing with currently and for the past years. In any case, the development has got my ears all propped up ... am smelling competition.</div>

I don't really see this filling the same needs that OpenSimulator can offer, not to mention its Windows / DirectX only, I also can not see Education and Business wanting to use this as any kind of platform in those areas, I just think this is way to much comparing Apples to Oranges. Not to mention its also not going to be free.<br>

I think this is a very critical development as Grand Theft Auto might end up being a VR platform for all the kinds of applications that Opensim/SL developers are dreaming of.
