I'm grandfathered, am I going to have to pay for VIP to receive my own money?
I have never purchased VIP, and taking $20 (2 accounts) out my already extremely low payout since IMVU's financial collapse for our creators is the biggest kick in the teeth.

Hi Folks,
Thank you for sharing your concerns. We realize this is a big change for many of you, and we wanted to let you know that we are exploring a few options that will lessen the impact of this new policy, and help affected Creators transition more easily. More details are coming soon.
Also, a few points of clarification:
By "legacy Creators" we mean Grandfathered Creators.
When this new requirement is introduced, Grandfathered Creators without VIP will still be able to create, submit to their shop and earn Credits.
Added 5/23/23 - You will not be able to earn cash or receive payouts unless you purchase Platinum or Diamond VIP. Once you join VIP you can earn cash and receive payouts. You will not lose existing cash balances. They will simply not be available without VIP.

So in short, it's still going to happen, just the impact might be "lessened" somehow.
Could you please explain why IMVU thinks it is ok to make people pay to access their income?

My guess would be so you can withdraw the current balance without VIP but can't set the slider to earn money.

For the few who can't seem to grasp why other creators are upset, let me give a simple analogy.
You're a 23 year old working for Walmart. One day, Walmart tells you that they'd be glad to pay you, but you have to buy a 24 pack of Depends adult diapers in order for them to transfer the money into your bank account or cut you a physical check. For clarification, you have no bladder issues and no one in your family needs Depends, so this purchase is absolutely worthless to you; just as some people feel about the VIP program.

It's on topic so far as I'm concerned. Clarifying people's reasoning so you understand others is important. And, with the deluge of comments that have come in, I think I missed that particular post.

@RigsK You mean credits, or money depending on our slider choice right? Just to confirm RE: "Grandfathered Creators without VIP will still be able to create, submit to their shop and earn Credits."

@RigsK We understood the first time this is feeling gaslighting here. Because we not stupid we understood what you said. We are saying we will not pay to cash out we would rather fight the company as a collective legally for are money then to pay you company another dime to create. You can go back and tell IMVU they can shove they VIP scheme we not buying it we leaving. Good luck with that.
