Early Access Review
UPDATE: Since this update, I am unable to play in any instance with certain types of video players. I cannot recommend even downloading this game in this state. Chillout may be a better option.
UPDATE 2: AMD has fixed the crashing issue, but now video feeds sometime flicker. The review below still remains.
UPDATE 3: Removed Neos recommendation.

I'd been waiting on updates to make the game better before spending the time to make a positive review, but this one is so out of touch that a negative review is all I can leave now.
EAC in a social VR platform is one of the worst moves possible, it doesn't stop malicious actors (which have already bypassed it, 20 minutes after the open beta released), curbs accessibility mods, and curbs performance due to EAC overhead, as well as blocking Quest virtual desktop and AMD OpenVR FSR dll injection.
The devs have seen the canny post, they've seen the community response, they've seen people unsubscribe from or refund VRC+, and yet they double down.

If ever they decide to revert this decision, I might retract this review, but until then it is final.
Same goes with VRC+, they can limit me all they want, but they'll only get my money if they deserve it.

Also worth mentioning: All content in VRChat is community-made. If you don't have any community left beyond standalone Quest users, you won't have anything left.
