doublevr For some reason new releases are missing funbase.
The earlier ones were better performing.

Please don't give up on harem scenes. There may be fewer likes, but it doesn't mean the genre is dying or that these scenes aren't anything short of brilliance. And there are host of reasons why there could be fewer likes:
- The popularity of the cast. Dream Team had a very well-known cast. So many VR superstars in that scene (Blake Blossom, Charly Summer, Laney Grey, Kyler Quinn, etc). Nearly all the harem scenes since then have had very new / lesser-known faces. For me personally, I don't think that's a bad thing. For example, this Euro Tour harem has a lot of new faces but I find that exciting and fresh. But for the majority of folks, not everyone will tune in if their fan favorite isn't there.
- Releasing in parts really takes away from the experience and viewership. I don't want to repeat myself again (as I've been vocal about my disdain for multi-parts before), but to sum up -- it's not fun to watch an incomplete scene. And once the scene (aka part 1) is released, the hype and curiosity get "checked off". Then, because the scene is incomplete, many viewers will be left unsatisfied, and they will move on. Euro Tour harem part 1 and 2 were released a week apart. That's really difficult to expect people to like and consume this kind of experience. People always want something new, and people have short attention spans. To chop up scenes into multiple pieces and release them a week apart kills any momentum that the user had anticipating the scene, and watching the scene.
- This scene (both parts) didn't launch with funscripts. I don't know how much it would move numbers of likes, but not having it certainly doesn't help its cause. I know a lot of people wait for funscripts before they watch.
- Other studios release inferior reverse gangbang / harem scenes that give this genre a bad reputation. I realize that big scenes like this aren't for everyone. And what's worse, is that other studios like to release "big" scenes once in a while too, but they don't even come close to the level that Nash brings to these harem scenes. Most of these group scenes from other studios lack focus, intimacy, have a bunch of women bored/giggling/screaming all over the place. This is big turn off to a lot of folks, even to harem-aficionados like myself. But the way Nash does it... it's a whole different type of scene. The level and attention to execute these kinds of scenes take so much patience and skill, and yes, it's hard to ever make a perfect harem scene, but Nash is the only person that can. But when one thing goes wrong, or there is one "distraction" in a scene, it has the potential to turn a user off. And as we know, VR users, and particularly SLR users have very high standards. So sometimes, it's difficult to make a scene with so many facets that can hit everybody's mark. But honestly, I don't think it needs to. Harem scenes is a specific kind of desire and fantasy. @petergriff mentions that it is sort of a "gimmick", but I think the more appropriate word here is "fantasy" or "fetish". Just like anything, a company can't just release a "harem" scene and expect that just because a lot of women are in it, it's going to automatically be a hit. The casting, direction, and execution are key, just like everything in VR.
All that being said, I want to reiterate, and hopefully make this one point: @doublevr before SLR was on the map, no studio could ever produce a harem scene that lived up to the best of what VR can offer. When you first announced that SLR was going to start a harem series... I kid you not, it was one of the greatest news/things to happen to me lol. I'm just an average guy, living a average-joe life. I've dreamed and imagined of harem scenarios, but they were just ideas in my heads. You and SLR have actually turned these crazy fantasies into a reality, and it has really made all the difference for me in this VR medium. It's hard for any VR experience to top a harem VR experience for me, and I'm still in complete gratitude that SLR continues to do. So really, thank you thank you thank you for continuing to take risks, and green-lighting these harem scenes. I really hope there are still many more to come.
