And to return to issues with R1 rooms specifically: the communication by Rec Room (e.g. here: The Messy Middle ) made it very clear that Rec Room wants all creators to work on R2 rooms instead of R1 rooms as soon as possible. Thus, UGC creators are probably just wasting their time if they work on R1 rooms. Support for R1 rooms is already limited; how long R1 rooms will be featured in the watch menu and allowed in contests is unclear. In fact, I would not be surprised if R1 rooms would be phased out altogether and removed soon. This is probably the elephant in the R1 room.
