Indeed. Real life is full (really full) for this particular Home user. And, although it is missed greatly, the majority of friendship interactions that originated on Home are still quite happening -- whether on Fluidic Space, here, Facebook, Twitter… the list goes on, but thus far, interactions of said friendships in the real world are yet to take place. Being Canadian, and dwelling on the west coast does not help to facilitate this
But that’s where Home really comes into play. To escape the daily challenges and pitfalls -- even if only for a few moments -- and to spend time with friends that (for the most part) are not even aware of any of it.
When in Home, Home IS home. And the friends there (some which are never communicated with outside of that realm) are family.
If Home were to cease altogether, it would be a ver VERY difficult time for many.

I agree 100% with that assessment Terra. The people at Sony deserve our patience and respect for what I am sure is an extremely upsetting and stressful time for them. The developers who are losing thousands of dollars a day do as well. People seem to forget that they didn’t ask for any of this. The people responsible are the ones we should be angry with, whomever they are.
And I for one have tried to use my down time from this in a constructive way, because being negative and whiny gets you nowhere, and is detrimental not helpful to anyone including yourself.
Great perspective and article as always. And I for one hope you get a PS3 back ASAP.
