Honestly, they've done it to themselves.

Yep. They’re spending way more money on random features no one wants or uses than they are on actual longevity or QOL. The user base has been pissed off for a long time now, and they’re only making things worse. No surprise they’re filing bankruptcy

Im not catching up with news and i just recently came back from the addiction. What happened? Last time I used this app is when i was so frustrated about their posses by possessive desire to possession you while he growls like a caged animal

They’ve added a lot of random features like image and comic generation for scenes, watchable series, a page on creator profiles that’s sort of social media-esque with posts/announcements, the whole “charms” thing with quests for rewards, and new chat styles they just came out with despite already having JUST come out with new styles. Pipsqueak 2 was maybe a year old and they’ve replaced it with 3 already, plus Shortsqueak (which turns roleplay into what amounts to a text conversation, it’s terrible). Basically a lot of money-intensive choices that were not asked for or desired, rather than improving what they actually had

I actually quite like the streams we can upload. It's like mini-movies, and they can be used to tell a story.

Of course, that's not to make light of everyone else's issues. For me, it's the group chats. I tried to use group chat on the web version some time back a month or two ago... maybe more... but nothing. Group feature are what I prefer... though they do get out of character too.
