Rec Room will be closing down on June 1st 2026 at noon Pacific time. Over the past decade, Rec Room grew into something amazing, reaching over 150 million players and creators along the way. Players made over half a billion friends on the platform. In total, people all around the world spent a cumu
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.
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.
Yet your fragile ego wouldn’t let you go without announcing you were leaving. Someone of stronger character would have chose to just move along. Like this.
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.
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
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.

Now they can stop spamming me with emails that im unable to unsubscribe from.
Sad to see, but extra sad that they made no considerations about releasing their servers
But at least they are building a tool to export the rooms into unity which will be available in a week - that is more than most live service games do
Probably a strategic move due to the rising server costs and the potential age verification requirement.
And nothing of value was lost
Did you wake up in a bad mood, or is this just the personality everyone who is misfortunate enough to meet you is stuck with?

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

Ah cool. I choose don’t.

“Like this” with a big ol comment attached to it lmao.
Clearly you care so little that you have to comment to tell us you don’t care.
Clearly you care so much you had to comment. Congrats. Hope your e-peen grows 3 sizes this day.
That’s my secret cap, it’s ALWAYS growing.

I actually really liked this game and was hoping to play again when the Steam Frame came out. 😢
Sad news. This was one of my first VR experiences. Paintball game was a lot of fun.
Same. I spent easily 100 hours just doing paintball. It seemed like they had a cool thing going, sad to see it die.

I didn’t realize Echo Arena closed. That game was epic. Like you were in Ender’s Game.
What a shame, my kids loved this.
