i havent played for a while on my quest 2 i played rec room on it today and found many games empty in my opinion if rec room wants to become better they should bring back the old bean body,listen to the community more often,and bring back the weekly challenges most games in rec room are empty rec room still has a chance to improve so more players could come back and i saw videos of rec room staffs being fired and i noticed many rec room youtubers quitting the game and many people are complaining that rec room is money grabbers since u have to buy energy which costs tokens and rr+ to have the roomie thing for a while.

#

Rec Room isn’t dead, still has an active player base even if it’s been at an all time low recently

“I don’t see players in a game what do I blame?”
Old bean!

“I see things I don’t like, what do I blame?”
Devs not listening to the community!

“I have no proper English and I don’t know that fired and laid off are different things!”

“Rec room is greedy!”

“Roomie and RR+ suck!”

“Bring weeklies back!”

It’s literally the same crap with RR haters over and over and it’s so predictable lol

#

What’re you gonna say next, “oh but old bean is more classic therefore it’s more optimized”, or “rec room lost players because of old bean” without knowing anything about the gaming industry

This is the worst take I've ever seen.

Old Bean body most likely will not return. It was outdated and in the recent Keynote was explained it was limiting for the Rec Room artists team when they were around. It's not returning and everyone who wants it back is sadly being nostalgia-baited.

Weekly Challenges are not returning either. Profile Badges and the recent Battle Pass in Paintball has replaced it.

They were not fired, they were laid off. Learn the difference. Being fired is a buzzword. They were laid off as the company couldn't pay them for their work.

Roomie requires energy as he runs of ChatGPT (from what I recall), which has a set price of one character per X cent. So they require a lot of money to run, hence why energy is the currency they use. It's a win win. Rec Room gets enough money for X amount of Roomie Energy to power it, the consumer can see how many characters/responses they have left.

Also Regarding the "servers being mostly dead" there's a few factors as to why.

  1. Creator Expo and Creations Con being on these next two weeks will probably contribute to people being in those rooms more than the main RROs.

  2. It's not quarantine anymore. Most people have moved on because COVID-19 is over, and the game has stopped peaking because people aren't stuck inside.

  3. It all depends on what maps you play. Rec Royale may be dead due to lack of interest, but Paintball, Golden Trophy, Laser Tag and many mainstay modes are quite active.

#

The game isn't dead.

#

It's just got different factors stacked against it. Which is understandable.

#

Also "Listen to the community" what do you think the Rec Room plus chat is for? If you want to see them listening to the community look in there and sort by Gribbly's messages, or Jeff's messages, or even Max Powers'.

#

Hell they did a whole keynote when they didn't even have to.

#

I'm just saying that not every game can hit thousands of people.

#

Rec Room luckily hits probably 10k a day, maybe more than that

#

The numbers are private.

"Source: trust me bro".

#

If you actually check the Steam Charts (which aren't a reliable source but anyway, that's all we have public) the numbers have actually been stalling/going up.

#

Well then don't make claims without a source.

#

That's called lying.

#

nope if u join games that were rlly popular for example ignitted bonnie (sorry if i spelled it wrong) used to be popular n now there isnt alot of ppl

#

Go to Black Cat for instance. There's probably 10-20 lobbies open at once.

#

People changing their interests does not equal dead game.

primal glen
#

servers used to be full

#

now its less

#

theres a reason why rr youtubers quit

I predict the most activity in RR will happen this Friday due to Creations Con or Christmas due to the little Timmys getting a new vr

It's in limbo, but not dead. Until it gets out of its coma, it's in limbo.

# primal glen its not rlly that good

So, we've had; "Oh yeah the games are dying but I have no source", "I don't like new bean but I don't want to elaborate", "they don't listen to the community" and "bring back weekly challenges".

I hope you know CinemaSins is still hiring.

I can send you literally evidence of the team listening to feedback from yesterday.

The game isn't dead.
