Popcorn Palace is collecting usernames...#vrchatcommunity

I'm confused about what the value is to Popcorn Palace of having that list of usernames If they are indeed collecting other information, then it makes more sense. But what does just a list of usernames get them? Clearly it must be something, otherwise they wouldn't be doing it

Usernames are already publicly available and have always been so. This is also not the first world to use them for account/progress tracking. Most all idle game worlds use it or some other identifier to keep progress between visits. waste of energy fussing over this.

Username collection was required for the custom accounts you could have to track watch history. Immediately following outcry the functionality was removed.

people acting like their real name an irl location or camera isn't being tracked by the headsets concerned about the username in a game must be doing weird stuff there om

Ha good luck getting mine. I have special special characters.

I hate Twitter

you fell for the nothing burger drama gj

I hear you ma boy but THAT FIT GO HARD, I see you.

🤡

VRChat is way overdue for a security update ripping as a whole has become highly problematic as hackers managed to find a way to bypass the security features and vrchat has done nothing to stop them

My homeworld btw

Why are you lying?? If that's the case then why can I still log into my VRChat account, hmm? And I don't see any actual 100% real evidence showing they're doing that. So I won't believe a single accusation until it is proven correctly with the right evidence and real evidence.

Turn off untrusted URLS and you cant be tracked anymore. It requires direct signals to untrusted sources to do the tracking.

Wait, account system? They have such a thing? I only go in there to watch movies, putting in that weird url into the search engine.

Thank you for the info, I'm definitely stearing clear of this world for sure

You say using their account system so don't use their account system

ok so how tf do worlds with persistance work :-/

Only what for I care about this world is their damn optimization

mine eats popcorn in the lobby too, but it only gets virtual crumbs while yours gets the whole bucket.

Also is there a way to tell if you are using popcorns system ?

It’s just a username tho.. I get the concern tho.

Actually tracking quite bit more to alt accounts if people had them along with ips and who in the instance. Who knows what other data is pulled beyond that

Oh thats the angle we are going with? Not the rampant copyright theft and selling ad space to screen illegal movies for free?

What about the one poster with a catgirl with pacifier on it mouth tho???

this is the least worst thing occuring on the platform rn - doesnt make it ok but this feels like "drinking pond water may make you sick" like... no shit? this is already well known issues

Popcorn palace wants more money, they resorted to selling data.

Thank god i dont use that

Bruh, where's a world I can go to that just allows me to browse movies and only movies?

bro is late with info
