  • Swallowbay - The content producer requests us to deactivate

justsomedude101

So that is the official list? Does that mean that we got inaccurate notifications if we received deactivation notifications for other SB scenes not on your list?

      Well since they started including more positions into their scenes instead of 'blowjobs only' I might consider subbing there in the future. I downloaded my reserve for now anyway.

      So is it confirmed only those select scenes or is Swallowbay removing their entire catalog? Not exactly surprised they're doing this, they've been making stupid decisions for the last couple years now.

      I have a lifetime subscription with scripts. If I purchase some of these vids before they, will I also have to buy their associated scripts?

        Does anyone know if scripts work on their direct site? I was signed up at one point and couldn't figure out how to stream or download scripts and their customer service was useless.

        Hi everyone - I just wanted to give you all a headsup that these 31 Swallowbay scenes (and any associated scripts) will soon be offline and no longer being able to be purchased at SLR within the next few days → Oct 16th, 2023 to be precise.

        What is it? Your 20 or Realcumber's 31?

            doublevr how many scenes left? Do we understand a logic behind?

            The above are roughly 1/3 of their scenes - 60+ scenes will remain available. Believe they are removing the above scenes from all sites aside from their own paid site to keep some scenes "exclusive".

                Oh man, they're all gone now? I got less than 2 weeks notice - only because I check this forum. 🙁

                Downloads not possible... scripts gone.... just had my SLR annual membership renewed as well 😞

                doublevr highly depressing if that’s true. That aggregator sites like this have killed the industry to such a degree that new independent sites are not financially viable. That’s not a healthy position to be in, a completely stagnant industry with nothing new other than the same old sites pumping out the same old content.

                    I don't think that is correct. If you compare to Netflix, Prime , Apple TV + etc. You have one or two big players that people keep subscribed to all the time and then you have some other smaller outfits that people generally will rotate based on the new content they have added for a month or two or based on their entertainment costs will simply disregard the smaller sites.

                        theHobbit it’s doublevr who said that new paysites haven’t been possible since 2018, not me. I’m just saying, if he’s right, that’s a depressing state of affairs for the VR porn industry to be in.

                            theHobbit That aggregator sites like this have killed the industry to such a degree that new independent sites are not financially viable.

                            You always seem to backtrack on what you said.

                            I was responding to your comment on aggregator sites.

                                theHobbit I’m not backtracking, I have no idea if it’s possible to start up your own independent site in the VR Porn space. Doublevr says that, since 2018, it’s not financially viable for new sites to work. I’m simply saying, if he is right, that’s pretty depressing.

                                If he is right then yes, you’re correct, it’s my own opinion that aggregator sites like SLR, POVR etc are the main cause of that. I have spoken to a VRporn site owner whose videos are on SLR and I asked him why he puts his stuff on here as that gives people zero incentive to subscribe to his site? He basically said that SLR have made it so that you have no choice, that you can’t operate on your own. He says that no one is prepared to subscribe to single studios anymore when these huge aggregator sites exist where you can get everything for one subscription. He therefore has to put the content on here to make it financially viable and the vicious circle continues then as that means no one subscribes to his site directly. Basically SLR has all the independent studios by the balls.

                                I don’t know if that is true either, maybe he’s just blaming others for his lack of success. It kind of makes sense to me though, what he’s saying, as why else is everyone putting all their content on here instead of keeping it exclusive to their own site?

                                I don’t blame SLR for doing what they do, it’s a business at the end of the day, they’re here to make money and, as far as VR porn goes, they’re pretty successful. As a consumer though I would appreciate a healthier VR porn scene with more smaller independent studios. In 2d porn there’s literally something for pretty much everyone, an almost infinite number of sites catering to every legal fetish. In VR, its pretty similar generic content being put out by a small number of studios.

                                    petermc He's not right though. A new site can easily succeed if they have a regular stream of reasonably good exclusive content. The only problem faced is getting some initial customers which means operating at a loss at first or building up a following on an aggregator site beforehand.

                                        petermc ok fair play but for the consumer though its a much better deal though right?

                                        I don't think anybody in their right mind would subscribe individually to multiple independent sites as the financial outlay would be far too much.

                                        I think what these smaller independent outfits should think is if they go down a separate subscription route they will probably end up encouraging higher rates of piracy of their content unfortunately. The aggregator sites in my view protect from piracy.

                                        I buy into SLR because of the aggregation but the biggest pull is SLRO.

                                        I buy into POVR because I get an aggregation and I get MILFVR, POVR and WANKZ. I want to cancel my POVR but I can't because I have too many favourites on their flagship sites that would mean I have to invest in some expensive SSD or a cloud service. On balance it is more cost effective to stick with POVR.

                                        Why on earth would I subscribe to VRBangers or Badoink. I would just do a mini month subscription, download what I like and then cancel. I like VRSpy but if they weren't on SLRO, I would just do a mini month sub for one month. If they limited downloads, then I would probably just not buy their service. However many people would get their product from other less ethical avenues if they did that. I just try to be more ethical about it as I think my financial outlay helps create the budget for some of the girls I want to see in VR/AR etc.
