Rec Room was a VR social game that I enjoyed playing back when I got my first headset, I would play it hours on end and have so much fun meeting new people and making friends. I even had a little acting career and was producing a show with my friends that was based off Five Nights At Plushie's using the tools at my disposal, I was having so much fun. But then I slowly moved away from it and moved on to other titles, most notably VRChat, which became my new favorite social VR title, but recently I came back to Rec Room with my friend group to see if I've missed anything, and I had a blast, the same feeling that I've yearned for ever since I quit because it was starting to be full of brainrot games, but when I came back, it felt different and it made me remember about the fun I had all those years ago. But then I heard that Rec Room is shutting down on June 1st, and my heart sank. All those memories, all the fun I had, the friends I made, the show that we put so much effort into, they're all gonna be gone soon. And it hurts. Rec Room helped me step out of my comfort zone when I was in middle school, and I was bullied a lot which meant I shut down a lot and wouldn't make new friends, but Rec Room helped me because it gave me the comfort that I needed for a long time, I laughed so hard one time that I started crying tears of happiness because I met the most amazing group of nimrod's on there who became one of my favorite friend groups on Rec Room. But I'll probably never see them again. I'm going to miss all the fun we had, the memories we made, the bloopers we recorded from the FNAP show, and the friends I had. I'm going to miss you, Rec Room, and even though I didn't spend too much time with you, I'll always hold you in a special place in my heart. RIP Rec Room (2016-2026)
