Was a huge fan of gather.town, is this the official notice that it's going into maintenance mode?

The Gather work product is unfortunately going into maintenance mode. We still have a strong team working on the core AV and performance, and the business is very decent and more than supports that team (and we still use the Gather product heavily ourselves).

However, it didn't reach the growth trajectory we needed, so a majority of the company will be working on Grapevine + new products instead.

This is sad to hear. We loved Gather but the technical issues stacked up and we made the choice to kill it around 2 weeks ago.

We've still been searching for a proper replacement for go-karting. Our team greatly enjoyed that little mini game.

A thought for any lurking vibe-coders.

Is there a recommended migration path ? or another product that you would suggest here?

[eambutu]

Ah to be clear, the team is staffed well enough on Gather that the experience will be equal, if not better, than what you've been using already. So we haven't been telling customers to migrate (and unfortunately, there aren't many good alternative products right now).
