Anyone think it can be a lie?

[hexed jetty]

I’ve been playing since 2019 and I’m really sad to see it go and I have a little social anxiety Rec Room Really helped me get through it and made more social and also made it easier to talk to people. If any rec room devs read this,please don’t go

[lean granite]

If Rec Room has the guts to make an april fools update, then it may not be cooked

The entire rec center is flipped rn

[hexed jetty]

Yeah I’m just having a hard time because I love rr and it’s hard to just accept it rn

[placid wigeon]

Well its true definitely, go ask gribbly, hes the man off his word.

I played since 2019 too, it happens man

Sad to see such a beautiful game go to waste

[lean granite]

I'm just sayin, they have enough money just to make an update on april fools, along with it being shut down on the exact day it was released 10 years later

[hexed jetty]

I really hope they’re coming up with something for a big anniversary update or April fools

[copper terrace]

spamming

😞

[lean granite]

I mean there's many possibilities

We don't exactly know what the entire plan is

[hexed jetty]

My theory rn is they need a little more money so they say it’s shutting down to get as many players possible and if it works they say it was a joke or smth and make a huge 10th anniversary update

[brave moon]

that would make everyone leave yo

[lean granite]

It's actually a really popular theory

[tawdry violet]

i dont think that'd work tbh

[lean granite]

I mean my friends that I haven't seen for years is on rn

[brave moon]

you're baiting your whole community froma game they loved to get on like thats geniunely a terrible move

[hexed jetty]

I had a friend and we played on the original psvr in early 2020 and he hasn’t played since 2020 Christmas and even he is playing daily

[lean granite]

I mean at least they updated for april fools, I mean, look ag the Rec Center!

[brave moon]

bow does this contribute to anything

[hexed jetty]

That’s also what makes me think it’s not true because why update something that’s going soon

[brave moon]

baiting your entire community is a giant risk

[lean granite]

Element of surprise I guess

[hexed jetty]

Because of the news of it shutting down it’s bringing people back before it’s gone

[brave moon]

its like someone saying they're dying for engagement farming

if they say its a lie

people gon be mad

if rec room says they're shutting down

and theys ay "oh just a joke ahha"

people gon be mad

[dense barn]

I’ve been on this game since 2019 I ain’t letting this shit go. I don need an echo situation again

[hexed jetty]

Most people would be relieved imo

[teal musk]

They could like find something and say that they found smth to keep going

[brave moon]

that their COMMUNITY got lied to for a (probably) terrible update and just using it for monetization?

[dense barn]

Either way what if this type of announcement builds the traction to revive the game or save it?

[lean granite]

People may be mad, but also relieved, and this actually awakens people to realize that Rec Room is more than just a game to them based on all the other chats in the general, I think it's been proven, so seeing that it may not be shut down might make them mad, but at least they'll be relieved

[hexed jetty]

Like even though it may not be as good anymore it’s still a game you can jump to and always have fun

[brave moon]

i wish the best i guess but its just geniunely not the smartest

[lean granite]

And also they say they are shutting the servers down, not deleting the game, they may say permanently, but hey there can always be a change, maybe even preparation

[candid comet]

Please see #game-status for current Rec Room server status information!

[teal yew]

I wish

[hexed jetty]

I also went in game and asked roomie about it and he said “there are no official confirmation that rec room is shutting down”

[tawdry violet]

roomie isnt accurate tho

if it isnt in its dataset its not gonna know
