It started to go downhill shortly after they added non-VR mode and filled it with microtransactions, but I’m sad to see that it’s completely dying… Paintball and Laser Tag were so fun, I loved playing those, messing with my avatar and stuff, and Rec Room was one of the first games I played way back when I got my first VR headset. It’d be cool if someone made a VR-only and open source spiritual successor to Rec Room’s great days…

Players made over half a billion friends on the platform. In total, people all around the world spent a cumu

@luana
yeah.. i have a huge community of friends that i'm losing with this. some are looking to port maps to VRC, but the game is essentially over

my egg cracked while trying VR for the first time in a RR mirror and not understanding why i couldn't boy avatar. it's pretty sad to lose that history

@lennby yeahh, vr chat is not the same thing… no games like paintball and stuff, way harder to personalise your avatar, no teleport mode, not the same memories…

I’ll make that lil cute card thingy next week when I’m back home

It’d be fun to play it with fedi friends like u if it wasn’t dying and didn’t block friend requests and stuff :(
