al3c1 is all that peripheral stuff really that popular? Genuine question as I honestly don’t know. I would’ve thought most people just have a wank the old fashioned way!
I am a member of VRB, I have been pretty much since I got my headset. They’ve had their ups and downs with quality but their content has always come out on SLR months after their own site anyway so maybe they think they are able to survive on their own and not revenue share on their content. Whether the lack of sex toy stuff makes or breaks them, I don’t know.
It should actually be celebrated if more sites can do that though as it would show a healthier VR porn industry if sites can work on their own and not all have to rely on SLR to prop them up. As consumers, it obviously means we end up having to pay more to join multiple sites but that’s how most of the rest of porn works and you get a much bigger variety of content as you’re not staying with the constraints of one site and their rules as to what is and is not compliant.
For example Xsinsvr are a site on here and started to release some watersports content a while back. They were pretty popular scenes but, after reviewing the scenes months down the line, SLR blocked them from their site (as they are perfectly entitled to do) as they say they didn’t meet their compliance standards. This means that Xsinsvr have now stopped making that content as they are not big enough to stand on their own and need to monetize their scenes through SLR to make the scenes viable. If they make a scene that can’t be shown here, they won’t make any money on it, in fact they’ll lose money on it. A studio then which would have offered something different (whether or not you like that type of content) had to stop doing that and fall in line with SLR.
On the one hand we have to be fair, without SLR, Xsinsvr probably wouldn’t even be able to operate in the first place. On the other hand though, having one mother site hosting everyone’s content means that you get less variety as sites all have to work within SLR’s rules.
