AltspaceVR

AltspaceVR was a social VR hangout first and a game only in the loose, platform sense, so the real appeal was meeting people in virtual rooms and events rather than chasing scores. By our assessment, that made it interesting for chatty, headset-wearing users who wanted presence and avatars more than a structured play loop. The downside of that kind of space is obvious: if the social side is thin, the whole thing feels empty fast. In practice these places live or die on who shows up and what is happening that day. It sits closer to VR social platforms than to traditional games, which is why the name can mislead if someone expects a standard game. AltspaceVR is best understood as a gathering place with game-like tools, not a focused game itself.
