Hey guys! You should totally check out this amazing artist and friend of mine~ Maybe even commission them. Here's a fully rendered piece they've done for me with their OC and mine- More on my NSFW Account @ApotheosisNSFW! Art is by @__DiabloVRC__

@mizumikan_vrc @VrronicaJae I love how people literally just reply to this one message and not read the thread on why I think its god awful to charge Age Verification, when there are better things to put behind a paywall. Not a safety feature.

@MessiahWisdom @VrronicaJae Age Verification is a paid third-party service and it's totally reasonable for a merely cost of $10. Nothing is free in the real world kiddo

Please stop whining over VRC+ cosmetics. Weeks ago y'all lost your minds when VRC was down. What happens when, like RecRoom, they also can't make enough money? Everyone complains about VRC being greedy, but the VRC community are some of the greediest bastards I know.

@ClutchmeisterTV Its not a fun april fools, especially when it can cause a % of players to have actual seizures. It just makes the game unenjoyable.

@ClutchmeisterTV they've been doing where its just character visuals; minion visuals, weapon visuals, or the one event where they made every character have another hero's moveset. Then that's fine. This is equivalent to... If they were to make a April Fools event but every attack is a flashbang.

This event was IMO the worst they have put out. It wasn't fun to be forced into this for a day and it was causing a lot of headaches/nausea for people. We shouldn't be forced into an event that makes the game worse to play just for april fools :/ #forhonor

@sui_no22 @Auraitys @VrronicaJae crashers, and so on with 18+ Only Lobbies.

@sui_no22 @Auraitys @VrronicaJae More backgrounds for your menu, different fonts or colors for your loading screens. Animated Icons, Banners, or have nameplate effects. Etc. There are so many ways to make people WANT VRC+ rather then make them feel obligated to just to be safe from immature kids and teenagers-

@kyneosolace @VrronicaJae I know they're a profit glory hole. Every service costs money, even EAC. I'm saying though, there are better things to put behind a paywall, then Age Verification in which is very important for safety of users.

@MessiahWisdom @VrronicaJae unfortunately there are certain fees connected to using a third party service to verify your users do you think the company who is responsible for said verification is a non profit gloryhole?

@NikoLangDe @VrronicaJae The same reason they pay money for people to upload infinitely, avatars and worlds for free.

@MessiahWisdom @VrronicaJae Vrc also has to pay for the service. Why would they be obligated to pay this money for free users? They are not a charity association.

@NYAN64_WS @VrronicaJae Its like, imagine on every website, you had to prove you're 18+, and the only way to do that is to buy their premium service.

@NYAN64_WS @VrronicaJae I just feel like that there's better things to put behind a paywall then Age Verification, sure - It costs money to keep the service up, but its not a excuse to make it directly be one of the reasons to make people buy VRC+.

@dinosnaxxx But like again, my issue isn't even overall the item being locked behind VRC+. Its the fact that it's VRC+ Exclusive, which means; if VRC+ Runs out, you cannot use it anymore. That's what I find absolutely stupid.

@dinosnaxxx Neither does allowing us to upload avatars or worlds unlimitedly with 0 cost.

@Falcre @VrronicaJae I mean, I guess. But I still see them a lot, and the excuse that's constantly going around is "Well it's just 10 bucks, its not a lot." Which, yeah sure. It isn't a lot, but at the same time, anyone can still just do it anyways, and still troll. Its not really some huge barrier.

@MessiahWisdom @VrronicaJae Given they pay on a per-user basis, I see why they lumped it into VRC+ Unintentionally it does help reduce the amount of trolls I run into by adding a cost to it given how people are bypassing age verification with gmod photos lmao

And now that Rec Room is down/closing down. That's one less competitor.

Quest, and even the few that play Android. Whilst Rec Room alone maintains 1.3k - 1.5k players on Steam, who knows how much of a boost quest and playstation VR it is. But if I had to be generous. 5k-8k average players. VRChat is obviously making substantially more money here.

Why are people having a hard time arguing VRChat's Greed, and acting like they don't make money; comparing that it'd die like Rec Room. Are we just forgetting that VRChat is the top VR Social Platform on the Market, maintains 50k+ Players on STEAM ALONE - This doesn't include-

@Auraitys @VrronicaJae to not worry at all.

@Auraitys @VrronicaJae The game has been out for nearly 9 years, and somehow modders gave us unlimited favorites, meanwhile VRChat apparently cant. Cause if cost is such a huge issue, they would stop allowing us to upload "Infinite Worlds and Avatars" for free. So they have to be in some type of green-

@vahvVR @VrronicaJae I mean, i'll be honest. I did it, but it doesn't mean that I cant hate it or push back against it as being a awful choice and decision.

@MessiahWisdom @VrronicaJae this. if each verification costs X amount, why not make it a one-time purchase for those who want it? So many hoops to jump through to buy vrc+, verify, then cancel.
