Social games that still work on a phone after Rec Room
Headset support matters. Rec Room’s audience was also on phones and desktops. A replacement that ships VR-only will look busy in a trailer and empty at 7pm.
Publish rooms and pages that a phone can open. Put headset features on top, not underneath the only door.
Cross-device from the start
That is a product promise here, not a later milestone. A creator page that 404s on mobile is a failed recovery.
Build tools without a studio
The original was worth using because people who never opened Unity could still ship a room. Keep that bar.
