@BaldurPorta @BaldurPorta sorry I missed your reply spam. Just occupied doing a few things and I just woke up from a catnap. I hear you, I see you. Not sure which thread to reply to for this so I’ll just put this on all your responses in case someone is utterly out of the loop with the convocation.
Hello and welcome to one of the many forums you can visit on the internet. I acknowledge the assertive passion in your comment that’s full of emotions saying the same thing.
I am a bit confused why you only seem to appear out of the void whenever someone talks about their bad experience and is confused by using the gonso system based on your post history. Could be just imaging things??
Especially in regards to strawbunny so far and I’ve chatted more than a few about their experiences interacting with western creators in public lobbies. It’s pretty common knowledge already that some western vr creators have a bad habit of overstepping their boundaries while using the ‘I’m small indie a business’ like a jail out of free card as an excuse. If this is genuinely the first time hearing about this then I am very sorry. Gotta be careful not to put your idols on a pedestal that could do no wrong which everyone has done by accident at least once.
Might be a good idea to improve your rep by chatting in different forums websites if you're not used to it. Most forums are open to socializing with you as along as you approach it with modest respect. Anywhosies… onto the comment
I’m glad you had a positive experience being an end user so good for you. However everyone’s experience is different and I can assure you that just because someone had a negative experience means that it invalidates your positive experience. If that makes sense yeah?
Just because you enjoy something means everyone else must love it as much as you do. The world isn’t as black and white expecting only the best praises. Not sure if you’re too young or innocently naive but that’s all good. I’ll try hard to clarify to see if I can accomodate you better.
Appreciate your time and effort chasing me around through threads but what I am doing is simply just letting people know they face certain risks buying something with a script that could add limitations to what they may decide to do with it. This is the internet after all and as soon as you release something out to the public. No one can control what might happen…who knows . Most users play vr social platforms casually and may not have the same values you may have which is pretty normal. Nothing wrong with that
They just want an avatar that they can fiddle with as much as they personally deem necessary and not into jumping through weird hoops. Trouble is that there is no official public store front page publicly available for the Gonso that guides newbies through as simple as possible in thorough detail that want to understand how to fully control it. Naturally people will assume it’s sketchy and judge it as malware if there’s little to no public information.
There are too many phishing scams in discord direct messages that most people just say stuff it and turn off access to their DMs to not deal with it.
A discord server does not count as a professional business platform, manual, troubleshooting support etc. because it’s meant as like a social hang out spot. IKEA doesn’t sell their furniture on discord but on an official site that gives end users the nitty gritty because they are a verified trustworthy company. Offer customer service that accommodate any skill or accessibility issue. Another example I could give you is It’s like buying a car… you’re not supposed to instantly buy it without test driving it first to avoid buyers remorse. It would be immature, reckless and financially irresponsible to not verify that car is the best one you could get your mitts on at the time.
Then again, if you don’t care about follow common internet safety advise any cybersecurity website would tell you when it comes to online shopping. You do you comrade. Just respect other people’s boundaries and being okay with the fact not everyone had your positive experience. My mum once got her card details yoinked and some random chick in America tried to buy expensive bikinis with it. My mum doesn’t even like to wear racy bikinis”

Don't mind me, I'll just bump this thread, so people can find it.
Vrchat or similar social VR platforms may not last forever. It's very important to keep that into consideration when making an asset or model. Creating something that will last regardless of the platform is where you'll truly get your moneys worth and shows genuine care. Not unstable scripts that make it harder to edit and bricks it.
We preserve console games via emulators and still buy old Windows pc games. Digital preservation is more important as you're supposed to nurture it. We won't be able to share our experiences if everything breaks or become like a useless paperweight. Sure, it may not be possible to salvage very game or model.
Hypothetically, If a new social VR platforms comes out that replaces vrchat one day in a decades time. We all want to take our models and assets with us. Create as memories as you can and treasure the things you buy, trade and sell etc.
Creation is more fulfilling when you can take something with you almost anywhere (depending on if there are limitations with tech though of course).
Media & digital preservation is the string that helps people in the future understand the past where it can be appreciated as much as we did
Planned obsolescence in technology and appliances, of 1–5 years, is a redundant strategy. We should only need to replace something when such a big improvement is genuinely useful and keeps us safe. Not everyone can afford to replace something.
If you want something to be treasured and remembered years later. Create it in a way that stands the test of time. Not riddled with something that makes it more fragile and broken.
Media & digital preservation is the thread that helps people in the future understand the past, where it can be appreciated as much as we did.
