   Immersiveness and Realism is not always based on the Platform

   In most virtual worlds, whether on a 2D screen or 3D headset, the platform provides the means, but most of the userbase provides the "content". I am no stranger to 3D virtual. I was on the very first one called Cybertown back in 1999, and have accounts in Second Life and Sansar. To be honest, I had tried IMVU over a decade ago, but it seemed marketed to teens and the younger generation. But it is now 2022, and IMVU has made great strides in graphic quality, creator tools (IMVU Studio), and even V-COIN, the first cryptocurrency approved by the SEC for use in virtual worlds and convertable to real life currency. The bottom line though is the quality of the content, but especially that of the IMVU "avatars", which I have to say "still" greatly surpass most of the avatar looks available in standard 3D VR headset platforms. The content available for objects, rooms, and outfits, poses, movements, audio and even shadow/shade rendering is leaps and bounds better than it was many years ago, and much more is available in the IMVU Store for purchase. IMVU is now a subsidiary company of "Together Labs", has procured 35 million dollars in venture funding, and was ranked a few years ago as the Best Virtual World Game for Realistic Graphics for 2020 by Lifewire, a prominent tech site. I choose to use IMVU as a platform because it is a very good quality one, both technically and socially, and have developed ways of marketing and streaming music and video to and from online broadcasting sites in conjunction with this platform.

  Games I don't know enough about that can be played in a browser that DON'T have forums or forum-like features: MovieStarPlanet2 (made by the same company as MSP1, so expect it to be just as pay to win and unsafe as the first game) Games I don't know enough about that don't have forums (as far as I'm aware) that you have to download: Habbo Hotel IMVU Hotel Hideaway The Sims 4 (it's free and lets you dress up...
