I think it will stay online for at least another 2 years but after that idk.
Would be kind of sad to see vp go bc on ES the userbase is a nightmare and the gSm dolls are kinda ugly and the forum will be moderated a lot toughter than vp I think.
In 2 years time they probably won't have the finances to keep gSm running anymore and their indiegogo money has run out, so people will come back here.
I think the concept of the revival is a bit short-sighted too.
It will be exactly the same: the nostalgia people will be happy for a short while and keep it running with their money since they are adults.
But what happens after the nostalgia wears off? If they try to develop it and add new stuff, the nostalgia crowd will riot, if everything stays the same it will become unprofitable again soon because people will get bored.
I also think it's hard to keep the website going, if they only have the old perks of being a paying member without changing that model, because being a paying user on gSm was shit and didn't give you any perks that were worth it in any way.
