Alexa Linden, a long-time figure at Linden Lab, has announced her departure from the company in a post on X (formerly Twitter). The message, which read “Thank you all for the last 17 years! I guess I’m gone! #SecondLife I love you all 😭”, was later removed along with her profile.
This announcement comes amidst ongoing rumors regarding a potential sale of Linden Lab, the company that develops and manages the virtual world platform Second Life. In a comment on her post, Alexa Linden hinted that her departure may not be an isolated incident, stating “Other amazing people too. There goes 2 decades of knowledge.”
Currently, Linden Lab has not released any official statements regarding Alexa Linden’s departure or the rumors of a possible sale. The Second Life community is closely watching the developments of this situation, which could have a significant impact on the platform’s future.
It remains to be seen what Linden Lab’s next steps will be and how they will influence Second Life, which in recent years has faced increasing competition in the virtual world market.
