  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.

    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 didn’t realize Echo Arena closed. That game was epic. Like you were in Ender’s Game.

  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.

  I actually really liked this game and was hoping to play again when the Steam Frame came out. 😢

  What a shame, my kids loved this.

  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.

  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?

      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.
