In other words (with Home) each of us shall get what we want out of it regardless of how little (or much) effort and time we put in. I love Home, it’s an escape, a vent, a window into human perceptions and reactions; it’s just about the best place for seeing our true colours in a fluid, real-time way using the internet. It’s possibly also the most adventurous anthropological study ever, ever ever! The things I’ve seen in there already match or go beyond the asking price of what I’ve sunk into it, and for that, I’m happy.

Personally, I don’t think Home’s going anywhere any time soon, my guess is it has at least another 4 or 5 years left. There’s a few out there that have a PS3 specifically for Home, sounds nuts I know, but it’s true. I don’t see how Sony couldn’t market Home as a selling point for the PS3 without any other attachments. But then I’m also aware of how weak Sony is at advertising, and know the costs of which would probably never match outgoings in that scenario. But still, my point is that Home *could* well be the thing that keeps the PS3 alive at the end of its life-cycle.

As a fluid, social platform that does only that, the potential that’s STILL in Home is massive. Yet as you’ve already pointed out Terra; without its visionary at the helm, it’s just going to continue to drift on the tides of money until they dry up. Kinda sad really, like watching a talented friend hoar themselves out because they’re too lazy to THINK.

Fantastic read though Terra.
