glitch.com brings back memories of the pre-slack era Glitch MMO. What an amazing time that was, really beautiful game made by talented people, pivoted the communication side into what we now know as Slack

I thought of that game as well, but I never played it or even knew about it at the time. I also forgot about the connection to Slack. What I DO remember is that they released the game art with a CC0 license after shutting down the game. The site seems to just redirect to a 404 on slack.com now.

Heh, I was thinking about that game too. It was bizarre. Even more wild that Slack was just a byproduct of it.

The same way Flickr was a by-product the online Game Neverending. By the same people!
