Creator Economy

Nice little bonus for supporters that also stimulates VRChat Credit economy. (idea stolen from roblox)

The title's pretty self-explanatory, I think it'd be great if I could gift credits or subscriptions to a friend. It's worth mentioning though that allowing for inter-person credit transactions like that could lead to scummy behaviour, so the actual implementation of this feature would probably need some nuance in order to be safe from scams.

Hiii, I think it would be a neat idea if I could use the balance of my VRChat Credits to pay or gift VRChat+.

So currently you have to go the world itself, or go to a group page. Put an option to browse and buy stuff on the world page itself. It will make it easier for people to spend money on or browse what is available from the comfort of their menu. It works both for marketing, generating revenue and generating traffic to the world. Benefits: Display marketing Conversion Comfort and convinience for the users, browse from anywhere I say this as someone who has been in e-commerce for 10 years now, including the VRChat one, so this to me seems like a very simple thing that can help a lot.

I got curious and was wondering what cancelling a subscription did. When I read the wording of the pop-up confirming the cancellation, I was immediately confused because I thought that it would be pointless to have the cancel button if nothing happens. Then I clicked confirm and realized that my benefits were gone a few minutes later. Please change this wording in the pop-up to let users be certain that their paid benefits will immediately end when they confirm to cancel a subscription.

I think it would be great if worlds had an icon or a disclaimer on the world details page stating if it has Creator Economy features implemented in it. Along the lines of how mobile app stores have a tag for "Contains In-App Purchases". Something like "Offers paid subscriptions".

It should be only visible when you open the marketplace tab in the menu, having your credit balance permanently in your face feels terrible, even more so when you don't plan to buy anything. personnal note : I would maybe plan to pay if the creator gets 90% tho

With this new system coming out I feel like there is the possibility for a lot of good but also a lot of bad. Please have a conversation with the community to put in place strict rules on what kind of content can be sold as well as tools to report content that does not follow those rules. Examples might be : No items or service that promote gambling or can be used to gamble. Please leave suggestions of more rules under this post if you have any.

As a way for people to support VRChat directly while also paying a little less, this should be a good solution to avoid the 30% transaction fee the platforms take. Those 30% could then be split for example 15% more for vrchat and 15% more for the users.

I understand that credits are necessary to allow for more transactions with less fees, that's fine, but that doesn't help the weird taste in my mouth of VRChat having "fantasy currency". I'd like to imagine that the VRChat team is responsible enough to acknowledge that having obfuscated and confusing in-game currency is typically used as a predatory move to incentivize more payments. I think a really good solution/compromise to this could be to display a live conversion of how much your VRC balance is worth besides your Credits balance. Something like: \V 200 ($1 USD) This could even expand beyond the wallet, displaying next to individual payments/subscriptions. I understand that there are some complications to this because of the nature of payouts and purchase prices not being exactly the same, but I think having a live conversion like this could be really healthy and refreshing to see from a platform after years of predatory in-game currencies and would totally be worth trying to pull off. Thanks for your consideration.
