Unofficial VRChat modding and “erotic role playing” servers are preparing for ways to get around the new security features, or devistation of their communities. The official VRChat Discord server is filled with too many complaints to keep up with. “I love the community and opportunities this game has provided to me, but this is just an awful move from the devs,” one recent review said. It was, until this update, rated mostly positive with more than 100,000 showring the app with praise.

Users are review bombing the game on Steam, which now has a “mosty negative” score on the digital storefront. The reaction from the VRChat user community has been swift and brutal.

EAC would stop the bulk of VRChat’s mods even though these mods have nothing to do with “cheating” (it’s almost impossible to “cheat” in a game like this anyway). EAC is a program commonly used in competitive multiplayer games to prevent the use of hacks and cheats.

This update is part of VRChat’s implementation of “Easy Anti-Cheat” or EAC. What this means in practice is that many of the tools that VRChat users rely on to create dynamic, interactive avatars, as well as add accessibility features that make VRChat usable to people with certain disabilities, will no longer work.
