Boe cries like child for 10 mins lol. FR tho, I love Rec Room. I just hate seeing all the good things go

[potatoonskates]

Im genuinely surprised this game is gaining players. They remove good things, add mediocre things, keep breaking core elements of the game, upcharge the crap out of everything, then try to turn around and act like theyre just a small company trying to make it by. its genuinely disgusting

It's a shame they don't consult Video Partners first - we know our communities best. You stream these weekly which is a huge part of your content. To just take it away without consulting us is a shame. In addition, they took away so many programs for creators and there doesn't seem to be a game plan to bring them back. I will always love Rec Room but I wish they would throw a bone to the people who have played the game for years and years and made it what it is today.

I used to play Rec Room every day, now I barely play it and I play other games

[yoshivr]

Just a month ago I was obsessed with rec room for about 2 years now it’s a chore to even get on rec room for something

[OroVR]

Totally agree with your points man. ill be real I almost quit doing YouTube this year (and kinda last year) and its not all rec rooms fault of course but my decline in views and the direction the game has taken has really demotivated me to continue this as a hobby/personal business feeling more like a chore. But I'm just in a similar boat to you and I'm kind lost on where to go from here, that is if there is a future for OreoVR. I really hope there is some light at the end of the tunnel or resolution but was really interesting to have your input and I appreciate you speaking out boe keep up the great videos as you have for the past years fr.

The rec room music in the background got me crying

[Rxnato]

As someone who has been playing Rec Room for a while, it really hurts to see a game I love losing the assets that we as a community used to hold close to our hearts. Personally, I miss going on Rec Room every day with my friends. Now, we barely play, and it's sad that our only conversations revolve around "remember that time in Rec Room?". I wish the best for Rec Room and hope that it will soon regain the former glory it held for us.

[SpaceMan_TedVR]

the fact that rec room was literally the most popular VR game like 5 years ago, they stopped one thing and tried to fix it by removing other good things (double shot and now.. the weekly’s)…

Rec Room needs to listen to the community

[JujuInVR]

Rec Room needs to get their stuff together.

[MrShadowRR]

Rec Room has significantly improved my life, fostering both positivity and popularity. I remain deeply fond of the platform and have no intention of quitting. However, it is essential for Rec Room to acknowledge and address the issues impacting its performance, particularly bugs and overall stability, which are becoming increasingly problematic. Great job, Boe, on highlighting these valid and important points!

I remember when I fell in love with the community as a screenmode, went and bought a used Oculus Rift CV1, and then dropped 2k hours on Rec Room. Much of it was spent on completing dailies and weekly challenges with friends😢... sad to see them go.

Man. I remember starting Rec Room and how excited I was leading up to being able to play it. I watched videos of people playing paintball, paddleball, what have you. When my birthday came around and I finally got the PS Move controllers for the original PSVR, I immediately downloaded Rec room and was greeted with a big loading screen which showed me a new quest that had been recently released: Isle of the Lost Skulls.

I remember when this game always kept me on my toes. Each update was such a game changer. If it wasn't an original, it was something that greatly benefitted the creators of custom games and, in turn, the players. If it wasn't an update for the creators, it was an original. I vividly remember playing the Rec Royale beta and making some online friends that I would play with for years in that mode. I even remember enjoying some modes that flew under the radar like Bowling. Even if they weren't always top tier, I respected the devs because they experimented heavily. Sometimes, they would do it to great success. Things like the new lobby, Spring Cleaning and the aforementioned Rec Royale created tangible ripples throughout the community that could be felt for weeks or even months. Weeklys were something that kept me coming back to this game as it rendered it something other than just a social platform like VRChat. The challenges used to incorporate the new originals they released into their requirements in order to get cool or interesting skins. Even if you didn't like a skin, oh well, there was always going to be another one next week.

The community was great. Even if it had its share of toxicity and children, most of the people who played the game were just there to have a good time, and that could be felt in the general atmosphere of the game. You can really feel it when both the developers AND the players care about the game they're enjoying. I haven't really experienced a similar feeling in another game since. I remember when I loved this game so much that it encouraged me to read Ready Player One after finding it in a costco book bin. I loved that book so much that, coinciding with the movies release, I changed my ingame name to the main characters OASIS name in the book: Parzival. After that I ended up becoming good friends with people that also named themselves names from the movie. I grew particularly close with someone who named themselves Shoto.

This game was so much fun in every aspect and seeing it get butchered like this is pretty heartbreaking to me, as cheesy as that sounds. I would have genuinely preferred if this game just burnt out or went out in some blaze of glory rather than get warped like this. Its really sad to see it get neglected and for the once fiery, ambitious developers to just regress into corporate, out of touch sleazebags while still pretending to be an indie studio with indie problems.

I'm not sure what my point in saying all of this is. This video reminded me of all the fun I had with Rec Room and I guess I just wanted to reminisce in the hopes that someone else feels the same way I do.

RIP Rec Room. I won't forget what you used to be.

This actually makes me sad, little 14 year old yakidme was in love with the game. Weeklys were fun, nothing got boring, everything was awesome. I am now 18, everything has changed. I hope as a community we can come together and try to get Rec Room to LISTEN to us and HEAR what we have to say. We want everything to go back to the old days, would be so nostalgic

[Captain-Grizzly]

We need more people to speak out about the problems with Rec Room. I feel like not enough people speak out on the issues so they just don’t care. We complain not out of hate but out of love for the game we want to do better.

[flapjack]

Im glad someone with your influence can bring these issues to the spotlight

[JDMUnitedLuminous]

As a broke teen I can agree that the costs are much to high and it just makes me sad to see all of the fun parts of rec room fade away. Rec room has been a large part of my life for the past 4 years and I really hope they get their act together

[Danz-Man]

Rec room needs to start making RR-Originals again like they did 4-6 years ago

[notpolorr]

From the lack of content updates, to the increase in rec rooms item inflation, removal of weekly challenges, no new creator contests (its been literally 1 year), its hard to see the game going through all this. The last major content update was 9 months ago, a game cant go that long with out anything new, plus the fact they are removing a core element of what made playing the games rros fun (that being weeklies). Rec Rooms becoming to reliant on the players, spending their money, and making player created rooms to hinder to rec rooms overall engagement.

[PawzsyRR]

As a paintball player this constant bug of pvp going off is super annoying because then I can’t play. Also another bug was playing in clearcut and having the game randomly crash and stop with no results which annoys me because I like to record my progress of my paintball hits. 1 other bug I have just noticed, similar to rooms breaking, is when I play in rooms other than RROs, players avatars will break for no reason I know of. Those are just a couple of annoying bugs I know 😅.
