It hurts to think about, but Rec Room has reached its life’s end. The announcement was made earlier today, and it still feels unreal. I had predicted this might happen a few months ago, but actually seeing it happen saddens me.
Rec Room, one of my favorite games, was once such a big part of my life. Now, knowing it’s in its final days brings out a feeling in me that I’ve never quite felt before. It’s truly hard to process, and I don’t think the realization has fully hit me yet.
To think that the game I played for ~6 years, that in 3 or 4 years, I won’t be able to come back to Rec Room, relive those moments, revisit old rooms, and beat Golden Trophy again… it just feels strange. For a period of my life, Rec Room was my home.
I’ve made countless memories, spent countless sleepless nights playing, and met countless friends I’ll never forget. I built things with the Maker Pen that I never even knew were possible before I had spent hundreds of hours with it. All those moments, inventions, and times spent figuring out how to build something, along with the friends I made in the creative community, means everything to me.
All the rooms and memories I’ve created with the Maker Pen and my friends will be gone once the time comes. And that’s hard to accept.
To think that I could create such wonderful things in a game, something I would’ve thought impossible just five years ago, is honestly incredible. Everything I’ve learned with the Maker Pen, and how much I’ve grown because of it, is something I’ll never forget.
Rec Room has helped shape so many creative minds, and that’s truly something special.
I will forever be grateful for everything Rec Room has made possible for me. It holds a special place in my heart, not just as a game, but as a part of my life. I’m especially grateful for the friends I hold so dear, all because of Rec Room.
To the dev team, my friends, and everyone else involved in making Rec Room a better place, thank you. I will always look back at my Rec Room memories with a smile.
I really hope with is a bad early april fools, and that I can laugh at this later.
And one last final time, thank you
Thank you, dev team
