Sad news. This was one of my first VR experiences. Paintball game was a lot of fun.

    Yeah, I spent a lot of time on there over COVID lockdown, I still go back and play paintball occasionally. Not as upset over losing it as Echo Arena, but still sad. Echo was a great game, still miss it

    Probably a strategic move due to the rising server costs and the potential age verification requirement.

    I actually really liked this game and was hoping to play again when the Steam Frame came out. 😢

    Sad to see, but extra sad that they made no considerations about releasing their servers

    I played Red Room a decent amount when it first came out and hadn't been completely taken over by children, and it was a great time! Apparently I had earned some fancy items, and over the last 8 years I've had like 20 people cold-messaging me on various platforms because I used the same username on Rec Room and they wanted the items.

    It's just what they expect everyone would think is a great comment since they themselves probably never enjoyed/experienced the game - thinking it may be silly. They may or may not believe the comment that they posted to be true, in fact they're more than likely indifferent on the game altogether. They just felt the need to contribute something possibly riveting to get a reaction one way or another.

    Yeah, it's attention seeking, really. It's not hard to feel a bit sorry for them.

    Oh let me be perfectly clear: I give precisely zero fucks what anyone’s hot takes on my opinions are. Never take criticism from someone you wouldn’t take advice from. Pay attention to me or don’t. Makes no difference.

    Clearly you care so little that you have to comment to tell us you don’t care.

    Used it quite a bit actually and found it to be overrun by screaming children and vapid, lonely people. It wasn’t anywhere as near as bad as Meta Horizon but still pretty awful. Poor moderation, not enough resources dedicated to making it viable on anything with a processor more powerful than a potato and just not great. We all wanted Ready Player One and we just got a cartoon IRC channel.
