it is
It 1000000% is (fr)
Can you provide proof
Trust me
Why would they randomly just shut down the game 😭 🙏
Bankruptcy I assume
months of terrible money spending, with things like ai that costed millions
Its a day before april fools dude
i guess but making everything either free or cheap would make them lose plenty more than they could handle
And no friend reqs is terrible move
They can’t shut it down it been here for 10 years or more
and then they posted this announcement at 12 in Australia
they really could echo did it bro
It probably is, but I hope it’s April fools
Why would they cancel people rr+ as a joke?
its not april fools
this would cross the line for a joke
Stage one of grief
Denial
exactly
How do u know
Emails sent
buy RR+ u cant
And can’t add pretty sure
Fired so many people to test the AI that barely works
Can’t make new accounts
new friendships can’t be made, accounts are uncreatable…
exactly
We’ll look back on June first and see whose right or wrong
It’s happening just accept it
They wouldn’t just cancel services just for a joke
they didnt, they actually extended them
extended rr+?
Theres already 119 signatures on a rec room petition
Is the game shutting down then
That not gonna be enough
U don’t know the future man
Ik
ay1 who has it has it untill the "Shutdown"
Most pranks don't involve a company actually turning off their revenue. Rec Room has officially disabled new Rec Room+ subscriptions and is ending token sales on May 1st If this was a joke, they’d be losing millions of dollars in realworld profit just for a two-day prank, which is something a board of directors wouldn't allow. Not only that but This isn't out of nowhere. Back in August 2025, they laid off about 50% of their staff. Usually, when a company cuts that many people, it’s a sign that they are struggling to stay afloat. On top of that It was confirmed today (March 30-31, 2026) that Snap Inc. (the owners of Snapchat) has officially bought some of Rec Room's assets. Many of the lead developers are moving to work on Snap's "Spectacles" AR glasses. This is a legal business transition, not something that can be faked for a laugh
This is the end of recroom ..
which would lose them more money, if its not shutting down, if it is why care
They said it they gave the evidence there doing it and multiple staff members said it’s not a joke
It not a joke
best way to put it
2 extra days of rr+ isnt going to be a crazy loss, 100% undoing evrything day after or day of april fools
So would i get a refund
So then
U payed for it already
Recroom is being shut down
I wonder how im gonna sleep tonight while this shit is on my mind gng🥹🙏
They literally told us before that they weren’t making much money, you think they would be able to just gain shit tons over night?
Man i don’t want it to end
It’s the devs fault
It’s going too so we just gotta accept it
They ruined a completely perfect game
true but friend reqs and accounts are disabled, pretty stupid even if it wasnt for long
I’ll be back
AI too
Honestly who thought roomie was a good idea while the company was in debt
they want to make it belivabl, thats why theyre doing all this crazy shi and the fact they couldnt wait 2 days to do it after dosent make sense
The devs were just stupid
it’s not lol
we're coping
You’ve taken a perfect game with a good player count and thought, let’s add a bunch of unnecessary stuff
Unless they do some crazy game changing stuff if this were fake it would be such bad PR
exactly what were they thinking about
Plus if this was an “April fools joke” they would of announced this on the 1st
Not the 31st
“Let’s completely ruin our economy by putting >>80%<< OFF in every single piece of clothing we made and make socials impossible by deactivating friend requests for April 1st”
if they kept it as is, it wouldve still had the same player count
The game has been trash ever since 2024 with unnecessary expensive items
It was OUR trash game, and it was fun
If I recall after the make to midnight update, game went shit after every update
Holy GD reference
2021 was the last year that rec room was alive
And sadly thats the year i joined
It’s official they don’t make money as they used to and rarely anyone plays rec room
so i didnt experience much of rec room
I forgot about Rec Room for like a year, only just remembered it, now I wanna go and play some paintball
We gotta let go of the el rec roomo bro
by alive, i meant no ugc, no horrible updates and all of that other jazz
it’s time to let go hijo

Anyone know how to fix some heavy drift on an oculus controller, it’s like i got shot in the leg when playing
Someone read that I am too lazy
Basically, no company would ruin their whole economy for a 2 day prank
TL;DR - The game is dead and we killed it
and snapchat bought some rec room assets
Guys i have a crazy theory
Holy denial
Can we talk about how the dev team barely listened to community they added lvl 87 was a last resort for the company and didn’t work at all and every upd is ugc stuff sure cool but i wanted quality of life shit
Holy cope
they were trying to be like roblox and it didnt work
If this were an April fools joke
rec room has made 294million dollars i doubt they went bankrupt
It probably isnt
another cope
holyy
Is cope ur only argument brother
Imagine how many people are going to be mad because they have to cancel their project and revert their items
Enron made more and look where they are today
it’s genuinely what yall are doing
Im not turning everyones hopes down though its very unlikely to be April Fools
"Its April fools btw"
Just accept that it’s their final decision
that was due to fraud not bankruptcy of non ability to profit
Multiple games have done this and didn’t shut down
Hey guys how do I save my game before it shuts down i tried covering my disc in aluminum foil and it didn't work
😭😭😭😭😭
son
Give me at least five example
For example
Except Roblox
Roblox
roblox
I love roblox thats my favorite 😍
I think if rr was trying to play this off as a joke they would have to shut down either way due to the backlash and money lost
Yes
Yes
Yes
!
Roblox
😐
gng what
But rec room shut down its features i don’t remember any game company doing that you cant buy rr plus nor in game currency also rewards also stopped i havent got s rank on alt acc on jumbo and i got tokens instead
Laughing emoji Laughing emoji Laughing emoji
Doesn’t prove that rec room is doing this as a joke
I think the community would be relieved it isn’t shutting down
maybe they are going all out on this april fools joke idk
no shit
yeah only those
If it was April fools why are my devs dead 😔
Rumor of Roblox shutting down always happen every end of the year and sometimes at a random date.
means nothing prob took them 30min still could be an april fools joke
it’s not just the blog
While rec room firing a lot of their workers due to money or something, and AI costing so much money. That's the main reason why rec room is shutting down, due to bankruptcy.
they reason is that they dont have enough funds too be able too run the game
i mean its a real thing
they’ve disabled account creation and rr subs
Do u think its a coincidence that they wanted to shut down a day before april fools
exactly
they’d be losing big time to do that as a joke
no
go dms
But recroom has 200mil currently in march and is valued at 3bil
PLEASE BRO
not enough too run
as they said
Rec room is no value at 3 bil
its more than enough lmao
Why would the announcement and preparation to shut down the game fully and then losing money due to revenue and Vr shift be seen as some sort of prank
REC ROOM GENUINELY ONLY REASON I AM WHO I AM BRO THIS GAME SAVED ME
look it up
cornball
3.8B
yep
I WILL SAVE REC ROOM
bro
do u just genuinely hate the game or smth
rec room is a massive ring
Look lets all make a deal
how am i a cornball bro this game is fun bro
yes
actually
WE ARE GONNA DIE
fuck ass game
if they say ts a joke
Then leave this server
MASSIVE
then i pay yall 20$
its an april fools joke and if its not no one has yet to prove otherwise
Roblox will never shutdown our grand children would be playing roblox
nah
WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE
THIS GAME BRO
We're gonna be gone gang </3
NAH ID WIN
WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE
rblx making their game died🙄✌️
Then accept that the game is not shutting down
ppl literally gave so much proof already and you js deny it
It don’t seem he hate the game it just there are a certain group of people who think this video game is real life and they don’t get off this fuck ass game and stink and don’t leave there room
someone drop the telegram link
son, i wasted like more than 100 on this game
i dont just deny it i fully debunk it
noah whats your reasoning?
yeah wait you’re right barring account creation and disabling rr subs means it’s a joke
A CAPTAIN ALWAYS GOES DOWN WITH HIS SHIP 🫡
I object
an iq too high 🙏
😭
They still have millions of kids playing it each day
Do you guys remember when rec room was new
deadass? 😭
yeah
Already said it, it doesn’t make sense for a company to cancel subscriptions for RR+, cancel token purchase and give massive discounts on every clothing for a 2 day prank. It’s genuinely not normal
disabling rr subs for a couple of days and stopping account creation for a couple of days wouldn’t really effect recroom
We’re the proof 💀
WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE
are you THE RRMLC vex
you cant send friend request either
they’re easing into the shutdown that’s why they’re closing off stuff
okay shut up
Shut up
Where is the proof.💀
yea it's fs happening 😭
nah
How did you fall for this 😭
so its a joke
or not
Isn’t rec room like rich rich
no bro
no
No
No im richer
yes but they’re losing more money than they’re making
?
yep they have 200mil and is valued at 3.8bil
exactly
Matter a fact
I blame Ai for doing this
I have more money than rec room
in 2021
blog post takes 3 minutes to read btw
you started 2024 you don’t understand shit ✌️😭
true, it caused the market shift
2020 get it right jumbo tummy ache
No because ever since Rec room added ai to the game it started to die
WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE
i only played VR for rec room baseball
still worse
STFU
do you think ai is why it’s getting shutdown
we finally agree on smth
NO WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE
They still have 200mil and investors have stated that they are willing to buy for 3.8 bil recroom being very money hungry as we know would def sell the game instead of shutting it down
holy shit shut up bro
it legit is though, it's the reason the market is shifting
also quest kill them out aswell
Im sorry manny
rec room simply cant keep up with other games
The RecRapture
Yes this is what I was saying 2 minutes ago
this proves its a prank pretty much
a guy just bought a recroom baseball league 3 days ago for 700$ btw
roblox is life
WASTE of money
get a job
they sold assets to Snapchat, they arent
roblox is just money hungry

Idk if the "its April fools" group is deficient or something, but its the 31st right now. It'd've been the 30th come the time the announcement was made in settle.
Witnessing the fall of that which had risen me. A shame to see
Sucks that its ending but atleast we passed college
At the very least </3
We all honored our grandfather and now he is proud
Because we became doctor
Yeah I think we know that
It's March 31 😭
Some people don’t 💔 people are still saying it’s a joke.
W grammar lol
this is too far if it is
Idk how they would not be this serious and take it so far to stop token earnings and friend requests as a joke
Fr
Exactly
☹️
They gon bankrupt
Fr
like they have gone extreme before, but there gonna piss 10k+ people off
they have 5 billon dollars
I think donald trump (aka me) ruined it
was firing half the dev team apart of the prank?
He raided to making instances
I honestly teared up when I heard it but I dont really care anymore
That was months ago gng
it’s a 3.5 billion dollar company
not anymore
I don't wanna go to the Roblox a.i slop there moderation is just shh + rec room is like a best social game
Ngl
thats sign 1 of not being profitable
Yeah that's the worth it doesn't mean they have that much on hand
sign 2 was not being able to afford easy anti cheat
A MULTI BILLIONAIRE COMPANY WOULDN'T JUST MAKE EVERY 80% OFF AND GET RID OF ALL INCOME, HAVE A GIANT STOCK DROP AND SAY THEY ARE SHUTTING DOWN IF THEY WEREN'T SHUTTING DOWN
Rec Room Stock $3.26 | How to Buy, Valuation, Stock Price, IPO | Notice.co https://share.google/Wb384pBEI9zd3zvWa
they bankrupted a while ago
Rec Room
3.26
-0.41
-11.10%
1.03 B
They are loosing maybe like 100,000 per 30 minutes I think without the sale btw
Rec Room laid off 16% of its staff in March 2025 and then cut roughly half its remaining workforce five months later, eliminating 141 positions and shrinking from about 310 employees to just over 100.
bc they’re broke asf
sorry to tell yall
its not april fools
people who say its april fools just cant accept it, and thats ok
i cant accept that its shutting down too
Because they literally have you fucking moron
If they actually did the stuff they have already then every single shareholder would have full right to sue
You know nothing about the real world
fr
Let’s just crash our share price, ruin our PR, deactivate all way of keeping our already struggling game above water because funny April fools
I know its a day before april fools but when did last april fools when was rec room "deleting the game"
we need rec room bought
even if its April fools that report card feature seems pretty cool
Get EA or sum they’d eat it up
That’s up to the decision of the money men
yea, I agree with cubey
I think it’s a hard product to sell in its current state
Like a worn down house but instead of real estate it’s virtual entertainment that already has a dominant rival (Roblox)
Man stop talking
Cheers
Rec Room is shutting down on June 1, 2026, at noon Pacific Time. The company cited an inability to achieve profitability, despite having over 150 million users, and is not an April Fools' joke.
This is from an official NBC blog post.
Man they might ignore you because these geezers willingly ignore facts
the stock is practically nothing bro
They said it in the blog
They never learnt to monetise the game so it was profitable
tutorial how to monetise game
The price of the stock doesn’t change how much money put into it
Only annual increases
still though how is it april fools
its march rn
rec room laid off more than half their staff
and the blog they said they couldn't find a way to make rec room actually profitable
stop coping of course they would shutdown money doesnt magically appear in companies hands from printers in their HQ
I'm starting to think its April fools but I can't prove it
gift me @cspf
You idiot
stage one of grief: denial
Ita not its real
Who here thinks this is April fools?
its not april
Who here is stupid
not the black cat 😭
Bro copied my words
get a job bum
THEN IT'S YOUR OPINION THAT YOU DON'T APPRECIATE MY ATTEMPT TO HELP.
i will donate $1000 if you tell me how you will help
ok but still, I NEED THIS to be April fools, crossing the line or not, if rec room shuts down, everything people have worked for will be gone. This has to be a joke.
they are doing really good financially
hm
its a april fools joke btw
its confirmed in the recroom creator hub owned by rr
might not be for a laugh mate
wheres this
where
ohhh ok Ty
Even if it was a april fools joke that would be such a basic one
you mean creator academy?
creator hub
alr done it
Why would they do all of this stuff that they’ve done so far for it to be a joke
Bro they locking channels now
@frank jetty I miss you
They’re trying to silence us
i love delusional people

How are you beating the bot
Cope

Games been going downhill for quite a while so no wonder
if recroom is truely shutting down I want my money back for the rec tokens I baught
31st of March, kinda early for april fools.
the day before though ?
but sill got money and creators, there is no reason for a shut down other then them just giving up
I get that it is sad for everyone, I loved it too. But all good things must come to an end. It is so sad to see it go, but we have to accept it
Ya accepted the TOS there is no way of refunding
@fickle cave R.I.P
rest in piss
get this, they are locking posts that speak abt it all being a prank, WE MIGHT WIN BOYS
we killed him so rec room can live
It’s a prank
didnt work probably
💀
oh… you.
Slimed out by @jaunty coyote
I gotta believe
Cuz they don’t got money to keep running the servers
The radium thing will still exist tho
RecRoom. A massive company on VR, no way they shutting down
Bro they are in debt
And shit
everybody keeps saying radium wtf is that
They fired a bunch of people
It’s an older version of recroom
a rec room revival
Uhh like a project that makes rec room go back to 2023
Basically bankruptcy
people saying what are they supposed to play should go outside or lift some weights that’s more fun than sitting at home all day talking to pixels
Radium failed. It is not gonna work. Copyright
Search it up on TikTok you find it
please say they keep the shutdown temporally or give us a offline version of recroom to enjoy our favourite maps in a form of downloading them as files
my bad clavicular
Yeah bro
R.I.P to our fallen soldiers
Rec room was bound to fail bro
guys the other post is back we can move there
So it’s fine
true this
Recroom is shutting down because they blew all their money on a fuckin Ai no one USES
we know what u meant pregnan boi 🫃
PREACH
I played rec room 2020 to 2023 if I’m correct
Roomie?
The fact they fire half of the team for their FUCKING AI.
My rr plus went by by
Yeah, I hate it so much
Call among the spirits, bring back @terse fjord
Bro who even buys roomie and rr plus
You didn't NEED to make ai, basically asking for bankruptcy dude
I kinda love it, it can revive you in quests
Literally worst timing to announce this
fr
Makes it more suspicious
Yeah some people love it, but its so fucking worthless,because YOU CAN MAKE FRIENDS WHO CAN REVIVE YOU.
Pls valve buy rec room
😾
Then it will be like tf2 no updates
But maybe that’s good
tbh if its all a big prank im blowing my shi smooth off
Fair
@green nest
I spent hundreds on tokens and never once invested in to rr plus
Dude another company SHOULD buy recroom, they could profit off eecroom like crazy
No cus then that means we still have it
Same dawg I never spent money on the game
Im blowing itnoff if its gone
Remove that fucking Ai aswell, SMH
Ion really play this game anymore so if its true i will not care an inch
Tbf tf2 came out in like 2006
IM GAY ASFFFF
I js joined to check if this was true
now rec room has our fade in its hands
THEY CANT SILENCE ME
So it’s a April fools joke right
Yeah true but it’s still a good game
Ong
YESSIR
@tawdry lagoon tell them how gay we are
Me and you man
delusion will keep the game alive
Its not a April fools joke, well 50/50, because if you backtrack and read up on recroom, they basically laid off 50% of their team, and well
Wow dude I allready feel the gay aura trough my screen
Yeah
Sadly
They blew ALL their money ON AI
I got timed out
They won’t silence me
A AI NO ONE ASKED FOR
Yes daddy
An*
An*
why dont we all donate 10 bucks to rr team
My bad
The old team is coming back
Piss off
you think april will save you
A game doesn’t need revenue to stay alive idk why tf we dont just yk keep servers open js no updates and let the communitykeepnit alive if they cared ab the player base?
dont do it again
0,99 cents yes
Avengers type shi
I'm fuming, sorry about my improper grammar
Do what
Why shut down the game? They could easily keep it online without necessarily updating it, so we can still have fun.
sticker
We’re getting this chat muted too
Me and this HANDSOME man are so gay we do outrageous stuff in public eithout giving a damn @terse fjord
It cost money
they will slime you
It’s still cost money to keep servers up if I’m correct
C’est la fin mon gars
We all are
I think you need to pay for servers to keep them online, if im not corrected?
Yeah
Lowkey ya'll it is
God ur so confident telling people the typa stuff we do out in public🥺🥺
They can’t silence me
Sorry it's over
What did
What got taken down?
Guys just go play VRChat
keep the game open without giving payouts anymore
Woah dude didn’t we have like 30 days to play before the shutdown
HELL NAH
????
Its not...
Rip other channel
Fuh nah
Guys
Another sub

@fair quarry needs to come back too
All your militaries, all your fun game rooms, even the inventions you've made are gonna be gone

Vr chat is ass
Omfg go away dide not a soul wants YOU

I would rather play fallout on vr.
I stopped playing vr a long time ago anyway
J’en sais rien honnêtement mais il y’a toujours une chance que un miracle sauve le jeu? Genre jsp moi Amazon achete recroom mdr
I wouldn't go that far
make everyone pregnan
Its because they can’t handle how gay me and @terse fjord are
Like if they wanna lock the channel do it when were done talking
recroom servers are failing right now due to many people trying to log on, it will take atleast 10 minutes if yall want to hop on for the last time, I don't recommend yapping, join recroom, enjoy the time you have
But I think I’m gone try rec room now like a final time
Word
Istg
Whoa whoa whoa. Don't you dare go clowning on my fallout buddy
They are silencing us
If they lock the channel it’s April fools💔
you still got alot of time
