An update on my #VRChat world Choices.

Based on feedback, I’ve added a new end-of-journey analysis that turns your portal picks and selections into trait signals - a dashboard that reflects what your path emphasized and how different choices add up.

For the past three years, I have been working as Head of Immersive Projects at Inloco Gallery, where I help connect physical exhibitions with engaging virtual worlds. Our metaverse projects receive grants and are presented at international festivals and conferences.

My expertise lies in guiding companies to adopt VR/AR for both internal use (virtual events, training) and external applications (customer engagement and experiential marketing).

🌐 Core competencies:
Metaverse Strategy & Immersive Marketing
Virtual & Hybrid Event Planning
Community Engagement in VR/AR

I currently work mainly with VRChat, Spatial, Viverse and Somnium Space platforms.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐕𝐑?
I ran a small research project on VR spending habits.

Sample size: 229 respondents
(LinkedIn + Telegram, mostly adult VR users)

You can see the numbers in the infographic, and here are my key takeaways:

➡️ 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐕𝐑 𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐨𝐰-𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭.
This isn't just about weak graphics. The bigger issue is shallow mechanics, very short experiences, and games that simply don't hook players. There are many titles - but few reasons to pay.

➡️ 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐬 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞.
Regional pricing, flat games, PCVR titles, and VR mods for non-VR games - all in one ecosystem. 
From a user perspective, it's hard to beat.
Using a VR headset as a "monitor" is totally valid.
VR mods for flat games work really well for many people. 

➡️ 𝐏𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 - 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐬.
Cooperative and online games often force legitimate purchases: without updates, multiplayer simply breaks. 

➡️ 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬-𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲.
Across devices and libraries.
(Personally, I hate having to buy the same game twice - once on Quest and again for PCVR, when I need both versions)

➡️ 𝐏𝐂𝐕𝐑 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭.
You need a strong PC and some technical skills.
Standalone VR is convenient - but runs into the content quality problem mentioned above.

➡️ 𝐒𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐬.
The exception: platforms people use regularly, like social VR.
Subscriptions work there the same way YouTube Premium or Spotify does - you pay for extra features, not for access itself.

Of course, if you survey teenagers, the results would likely look very different.
But for adult VR users, this is the picture.

Thanks to everyone who took part in the survey 🙏
