the moment vrchat decides to go mandatory monthly fee is the day vrchat loses its number one spot, right now they are gate drug of desktoppers and quest kiddies looking to try out vr in habbo hotel, you think the moms that bought their kids a quest 2 or the cheapskates that don't even buy headsets are going to pay a damn monthly fee?
even the ones with fbt already sunk a lot of money on that shit you think they will pay some mmorpg tier fee monthly just to play some shit that they can play for free if they just jump ship to the competition?
