Wow, that's amazing! Thanks for the link. Makes me want to dust off the old Quest 2 and play some VRChat to meet some nerds :)
This still works. This wasn't a disallowed mod, this was part of a custom world made for VRChat.
"Cheating", IE sideloading anything useful or improving beyond the base app? Sounds like they want to compete with Second Life for imaginary scarcity.
I'm aware of several communities which seem to rely heavily on custom mods. Not sure what they are going to do, though on the plus side maybe we will see more innovation in the multiplayer VR marketplace.
I agree. I was being facetious.
Possibly part of aggressive anti-NFT movement?
No, EAC breaks opening the VR version in Linux. Only the desktop version works. They are mainly interested in supporting the steamdeck so who knows what priority this issue will receive especially since it's very likely an EAC issue and not a VRChat one.
Well, this is a disaster then. I was excited to get back to VRChat once I got a Linux compatible headset, but I guess that's not possible anymore. What a terrible change.
