Just out of curiosity, what is it about Classic that is better in your eyes than Desktop?
I can understand the disgust with waiting for missing features, or skepticism on new features that come off as a cash grab, but is it just the look/feel of Classic? Or something else?
If they made Desktop into a 100% feature to feature copy of Classic, but it obviously looks like their new platform, would this work?
For me personally, I don't take issue with the new platform as long as they fill int he gaps of things missing:
Narration, the "/me" thing
Music
Product Sounds
Better filters/restrictions on who can see you online (Friends Only, 18+, etc)
More exploration into things that can be done with Lua, so we could get back widgets and things we would get in the old app with Flash.
I'm not going to dwell on VCOIN, NFT, AP+, and the rest, I just want a Desktop that is 100% what we had in the past, but maybe drop outdated things.
Speak up. I feel like you have to say something so the Product Development team will know...just be realistic and accept IMVU wants a new look/feel, not the old one.

Really, then I'd tell you that Classic is the Edsel. Most of why they are upgrading is they needed to rewrite the code from the ground up.
I will agree with you and others that I'm not a fan of many of the new revenue stream ideas they came up with like VCOIN, NFT, and AP+, but I can't blame them for wanting to build a new system versus patchworking an old software.
I still think if they had made it VISUALLY look like Classic half the complaints here would not happen.
You can get as mad at me as you want for my opinion, but I work in a software company, and I've seen the same issue IMVU is facing. Personally, they need to stop looking for new revenue streams and just finish the Desktop so it has all the missing features added in.

stop trying to support a halfa$$ system that never worked and invest in the only system you ever had working.you throw money in to beta to get a shiny turd and you throw money in to mobile to get a even more shiny turd. you sound like you trying to bring the edsel back.. stick with what works stop throwing cash at a systems that simply DONT WORK...
