We will, of course, still allow fatpacks, and any other currently-allowed distribution mechanisms. We will continue to allow any sales where a payment is given for a known item, which means that items that had been purchased as вЂњgachaвЂќ will be allowed to be re-sold as long as the buyer knows in advance the item and quantity they will receive. Enforcement wonвЂ™t start until September 1 after that date an Abuse Report for вЂњGaming Policy ViolationвЂќ will be the preferred method of reporting this content to Linden Lab. After that time, selling content via gacha machines will no longer be permitted in Second Life. We know that creators plan their content releases far in advance and will need to re-tool their products, so to mitigate the impact to those affected, we are giving a 30-day grace period, until midnight SLT on August 31.

ItвЂ™s widely known as вЂњgachaвЂќ, and is defined by a chance-based outcome as a result of a payment. To avoid and misrepresentation of the LabвЂ™s decision, IвЂ™m reproducing the official announcement below: Due to a changing regulatory climate, weвЂ™ve had to make the difficult decision to sunset a very popular sales mechanism for content in Second Life.

In what is going to be seen as a highly unpopular move, Linden Lab has announced that the use of gacha machines within Second Life must be discontinued by content creators by the end of August, 2021.
