Age verification should be free for every adult especially for those who have financial hardship most jobs in around were I live don’t pay much at all im broke the last thing anyone needs is one of their favorite platforms ramming a subscription down your throat for a feature thats free on every platform just to play a insanace you have to verify to access contrary to the devs beliefs not everyone has the money to spend especially in today’s economy the devs money hungry basically made certain parts of vrchat pay to play and it honestly awful
Age Verification is still under “Open Beta” as its not feature complete, VRChat has not made a decision on if it will be paywalled or free when its fully released.
Keep in mind that each verification costs VRChat money due to how these servicers operate so eating that cost could get very expensive very quickly.
Age verification costs them money every time someone goes through it. For now if you would like to get age verified but don’t want the subscription you can just pay once, get verified, and cancel it. The age verification stays.
