VRChat Security Update Throws the Metaverse Into Chaos

VRChat, one of the only virtual reality applications that comes close to implementing anything resembling futuristic visions of the “metaverse,” is in total chaos after the social VR company announced a security update will disable all user-made modifications.
On any given day in VRChat, it’s possible for Winnie the Pooh to interview a war veteran dressed as Anakin Skywalker in a surreal forest or to slip into a hellish nightmare world designed like Disney merchandise from the 1990s. The security update, users say, will make some of that creativity and functionality more difficult.
