I'm a casual VR chat player for many years. I am an adult, and I enjoy being a part of mature spaces. It would seem that VRChat expects players to pay if they want to officially prove they are an adult.

The distinction between wanting to support the game and its developers and gaining access to fun features is starkly different from being paywalled out of being able to prove you're an adult.

You can pay $10 for one month of Plus to complete the verification - a reasonable ask for many who enjoy the game and wish to support it. However, the notion that anyone MUST pay to prove they are an adult is terrible. The implication is that you are a minor if you don't have Plus.

I fully support age verification and have paid for a month of Plus to support this game, however, the developers need to seriously reconsider their approach here.
