Linden Lab: China makes sense

RedlineChina is reporting the opening of a Linden Lab office in Beijing. We contacted Linden Lab who did not specifically confirm or deny a Chinese office, though they admitted that "[I]t makes sense for us to consider a potential presence in China, along with other markets where there is a high broadband penetration and active Internet user base."

"While there's nothing more we can confirm at the moment, we'll be sure to update on those plans in due course," said Linden Lab today, in response to our inquiries. It implies that there is something planned or something going on that they're not quite ready to talk about – sort of a no-comment, with icing.
