God if I had a dime for every video iv seen about kids on VRC. Watching another nonfactual video today with alot of misinformation about VRChat. To be honest, Pushing this A.V soon would solve alot of problems but if we are being real 18+ for the platform from the start would have been a better direction. I know the Devs are hard at work on this but it truly will be a breath of fresh air to not only give a better view of VRC but to just have adult spaces to speak freely as adults do.
I just don’t see the hold up on this update though. This has been already done on many platforms so it should be an easy thing to set up being its with a preexisting company that has been around for a while. But I don’t know all the things they need to do to make this happen so all i can do is wait =/
It’s been only 10 days since the last update on Developer Update - 16 January 2025 and VRChat hasn’t even been back to work from their Holiday Break for a full month yet.
For posterity:
So we should get something new sometime this week unless something has gone very wrong. That all said I imagine they share their same desire but the VRChat of 2025 isn’t the VRChat of 2015, the days of “Just Add It!” are far behind us.
tbh the hell honest they need to take the kids 9 and under off not trying to be mean about it but yes but also we need age verification for the 18 and under as well
VRChat is 13+ as outlined in the Community Guidelines so if you see anyone under that age you’re free to report them.
Also as outlined in the Age Verification FAQ you can sign up for Age Verification even if you’re ages 13 through 17 and once you turn 18 any restrictions will be removed automatically.
There’s no way to really force people to verify in the way you’re asking unless you forced everyone to verify, something that would be incredibly expensive as these services charge per-verification.
