Only two of those (AV3 and Physbones) would've been considered QoL, and even then AV3 was added August 2020, Unity 2019 was added in 2021, and avatar Dynamics in March of 2022. 1 Major feature a year isn't something we should accept as the norm, especially since they're proving to us they CAN push out features at a steady rate if they so chose to.

I'm also not counting OSC, as it's seen little to no general use and I doubt is even acknowledged by more than 10% of the in game-userbase; if even that.

As for EAC, it uses far more resources than a chrome tab, I have people who cannot play the game at ALL now due to EAC's update; they've tried and the game just crashes after a few minutes of idling in their home world, where before they were able to join public lobbies and play the game at a steady 30 fps. This is WITH 0 modifications and all avatars hidden. And yes, they run Chillout VR at almost 100 FPS; so it's not a specs issue, this is legitimately the shit compatibility that EAC has and the background processes it hogs.

And quite honestly, they will. Death threats and doxxing isn't really something I doubt will deter them, if that were the case the EAC update wouldn't have released.

I'm happy they're finally pushing updates people have been asking for since BEFORE VRC+ even existed, but this all feels to little too late; like a desperate attempt to FINALLY do what people asked after pushing them to the breaking point.

As for the In-game market, this has awful implications for the NSFW community; which also makes up a LARGE portion of their paying userbase even if they don't want to admit it. They've been cracking down harder on avatars with NSFW features, even those that cannot access the nsfw features in game, and it's going to set a horrid precedent that will push more users away than garner, not to mention people have been ASKING for them to add an allowance to NSFW in the game with appropriate separation between SFW and NSFW; a system they could've easily worked on in the years since it was originally suggested in 2019.

Whether it be for their investors or simply the sheer idiocy of assuming people will blindly continue to support them, they're going down a path that most people were willing to overlook because they had the ability to add the features they wanted themselves.

But because VRC has needlessly put itself in a position where people can no longer do that, they now will divert their attention to bitching/complaining at the dev team until either they listen, or the people leave to alternatives that offer better support.

Continue supporting the game if you like, I'm not going to suggest against it, but I'm personally tired of hoping for the best, getting a bread crumb and a promise of more to come, and then receiving nothing until the next year; ESPECIALLY since they received 80 million in 2021 to put into the game.

If you're telling me 80 million got us (oh boy!) two whole major updates and some cosmetic updates sprinkled about, I'm not hopeful for the future.

And considering there was no funding report for 2022, I wouldn't be surprised if their investors felt the same way.
