When Rec Room shutdown, it made me realize something. I never really played Rec Room for the gameplay or for the content or something. I liked Rec Room because I grew into it and made it personalized. What I mean by this is several things.

my avatars felt perfect to me and felt like they perfectly encapsulated my personality. The friends list felt fresh, with friends I have made over the years. My rooms and dorm felt perfectly me, and made perfect hangout spaces for me and my friends. The barrier to entry was low, you could meet all sorts of people. All sorts of clothing items and rooms and other things I have collected over the years. I feel like the problem with “just go play something else” for me is that it feels like my copy of Rec Room was personalized, I don’t want to go play something else. I can play something else and have fun sure, but it feels like I’m playing a video game and not like I’m being myself. because of how long I’ve played Rec Room, I’ve kinda grown into it in a sense. I can’t just instantly grow into something else.

Is there anyone else who feels this way? Or is it just me?
