    Sad to see, but extra sad that they made no considerations about releasing their servers

    Sad news. This was one of my first VR experiences. Paintball game was a lot of fun.

      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

      Same. I spent easily 100 hours just doing paintball. It seemed like they had a cool thing going, sad to see it die.

    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. 😢

    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.
