  • Upcoming price and download limit change

Hairsational Right? So if its all about profit then why not update the pricing strategy and leave everyone's download limits alone. I cant speak for others but I personally do download up to my limits often within a month or two and that is because I often delete my entire or large portions of my porn collection for whatever reasons. Sometimes I decide I want to stop watching and so I stop cold turkey and simply delete it all. Other times I have to delete entire sections at a time to download a chuck of new content that has since been released and then I want to go back to some of the older content I might have deleted. I dont know if they realize that our storage media doesnt automatically keep growing with time like inflation. Most of us have a dedicated amount of space to download into but that doesnt mean that as more and more content comes out we are just going to perpetually continue upgrading or buying more storage, thats completely unrealistic. Also, most of us dont just download VR porn from here, I also maintain a sizeable non-VR collection of porn from some of my other favorite sites and that takes up a ton of space also since most of the other content I collect is mainly 4k and those scenes are often almost the same size as most of the compressed version of the VR scenes on this site.

Reducing the number of AI script downloads to 3 per month is a disappointing move, considering that I just bought a Premium+Scripts lifetime subscription under the previous terms with 10 AI script downloads per months. Also AI scripts are still a bit of a gamble, so please raise that limit back up again.

I don't like the latest Move, to reduce the AI Scripts from 10 to 3.
Bring back the 10 AI Scripts and reduce the by Hand scripted Funscripts maybe to 1, because it is almost impossible, to find 3 new Human Scripts a Month, except the VREdging Scripts. AI scripting is killing the Human scripting System.
Also it would be fair, if the AI Scripts cost at least a max. of 3$. It is a CPU who generated the Scripts and this is a Mass Product.
I would love to see the following Price and DL System regarding Scripts:

  • 1 or 2 Human Scripts per Month.
  • 8 to 10 AI Scripts per Month
  • lowering the AI Script Price to 3$ for 1 Script, 12,50$ if bought 5 Scripts at once and 20$ if somebody buys 10 AI Scripts at once

@doublevr

Long-time subscriber here. When is this coming into effect? I don't download near the limit, but I've been thinking of upgrading from monthly to yearly if you offer the Black Friday sale again on New Years. Any chance this will be happening? Also, what happens to my remaining days of the monthly sub I'm currently on? Would the days be transferred to the yearly sub.?

Will these new subscription plans be cheaper? Can you give us more details on what you are offering?

I finally remembered the passage from this literary classic that reminded me of @doublevr 😉

"His primary passion, his major interest, was pornography. He had a pretty darned impressive collection, which wasn't that easy on the income of a college student. He did have a part-time job, cashier at a fast food restaurant. And, most of that money was indeed spent on internet subscriptions.

"He felt, though, that he was in fact quite frugal in pursuing his avocation. He would never let a subscription last longer than 30 days, kicking in an automatic renewal. Avoiding such additional cost required downloading as much as possible during those thirty days, but he rarely found that to be a challenge. He just felt that his library was growing and growing and growing. He could not though take advantage of the sites that offered one-month limited memberships via telephone enrollment, as he could not risk the record of such calls within the dorm.

"He particularly enjoyed teen sites, filled with girls that were his own age. The girls on the sites were all said to be around 18-19 years old, although frankly some of them looked to be pushing 40. He did always dream though of finding on a site an Abberville coed. One can hope, one can dream. It's those who don't dream who fail to achieve.

OK, well lifetimers have been affected the last dozen times it got reduced, so can we go back to the terms when we bought our lifetime subs? I think it was like 75 and reset every 3 days.

As I recall, the first time this limit was reduced, I made a plea to let lifers keep their deal and was told it was impossible to keep track of and differentiate between lifers and monthly/yearly subs. Now, we're being told you can differentiate and will based on when we signed up and.. tbh I'd put money on reducing my limit again in the future. I also believe the line the first time a limit was added, the response was along the lines of, 'We have no plans to further reduce downloads.' It was further reduced...

Let's actually be honest here: Lifetimers are not data hoarders, they are archivists. They are not signing up for a month, fleecing the entire database then running off with the whole safe for the price of a one month. They gave you all the money you asked for. Promises were already broken. I don't expect this promise to last either.

    It would be impossible to download all SLR films in a month, even if someone wanted to do so. My question for you is 'how do you have the hard drive space to download even half the current monthly limit?' Because of recent changes in the Internet and the obvious move towards censorship (see how they took down Twitter today) I invested in some 20 TB drives, a small portion of which is devoted to SLR. Even if I were to devote a full 20 TB drive to these videos, I would run out of space very quickly. That said, I am significantly pissed with SLR for their anti-American, anti-Christian decision to premiere a goth film on Christmas (hear that @doublevr), their vacillation over what to release when, and their choice to cast the same models over the past few months (like Angel Windell and Daisy Lavoy -- two SLR originals w the same model in three weeks!). Typically when I subscribe to a site I count on at least five superb films I really want to see, and this month SLR has only produced one ground-breaking classic, https://www.sexlikereal.com/scenes/raw-taboo-group-project-39281.

      [deleted] Well one doesn't need to worry about how many hard drives I have bc it's not the point (I have several 8TBs 😉 ). And not everything needs saved in a fake 8K resolution anyway, nor do I need the first 15 minutes of inane talking and foreplay. You save tremendous space when you're saving just the good parts.

      And yes, Demi Hawks and those freckles are hot as hell.

      lol, get out of here with the politics and tune into hallmark movies instead. 🥱 🥱 🥱 🥱 🥱 🥱

      The use of CAPTCHA is already killing the site; please fix that first

      NORMALLY this type of thing would not affect me as i am NOT a big downloader.

      BUT?? you have a big studio leaving at the end of the month...i just found out, and i have some FAV's ??

      unfortunately, 12-15 per video is not going to happen. mighta been interested in about 10 clips at 5-6bucks max

      not sure how many i wanna save/download. there are like 54 pages of 12....so lots of clips to go thru, but SEE that i can only download 30 before they leave.

      i am STILL on the 239-dollar yearly plan....but seemed to get nurfed down already.

      maybe those download limits should come into play when we pay the LESSER join fee...and not on the existing fee

      Little late to party and have skimmed over this. My two cents. Data shouldn't be a factor in this discussion if comparing data hoarders(Poor word choice) to streamers. If I wanted to I could stream 24/7 that would be 0.5TB per day with no limit other than the play speed of the player(One could also get this higher by skipping around in every video for 24 hours) vs downloading at 30 per week that's 0.6TB per week. The stream users can abuse your data if they wanted to.(Assuming a 20GB video typical of 8k 30 min long h265)

      As for downloading I have seen videos I truly loved but never downloaded disappear from the OG producers site or the OG producer went out of business(Who knows what's going to happen to abbywinters content in the next couple of years). I prefer downloading cause personally I like freedom of choice. I can pick which player I want and set my own tags/or edit tags for videos.(Heresphere truly does make 4k content/close ups watchable)

      In regards to the download limits. You should adopt something like Badoink at 20 per day and develop algos that scan for people downloading every video in your DB. 30/week just sucks as as most studios have content that varies greatly between excellent to unwatchable. It sucks when a few of your DL videos fall into this latter category. You could also stick captacha on all downloads(Naughty America VR). This will defiantly make fair use of your videos. There are other things like rate limiting per day like POVR. The only people more protective of abusers in sinsVR at 49/month and streaming limited to 1440p(YIKES) unless you give them more money. Also you got to remember 99% of users won't have the skill set or money to store more than 5TB of videos at a time that's a mere fraction of your data base. You shouldn't be punishing the majority for the few users that have the capability and money to store your entire DB

      But honestly the price should be cheaper for downloaders only at your current limit. Because A) you don't have to support developing a player for them. B) Streamers are only limited in data by there willingness to sit in front of the computer.

      One final note VR imo is facing a precipice there are too many choices for and most content is becoming identical(European or American style) its just now a matter of which model you want to spend your time watching. I hope SLR figures something out before raising prices as I would pay more for something innovative but not more for content that's the same to WankzVR Studios, Badoink Studios, Bangers VR, Naughty America etc.

        I would like to add my view on the planned changes.

        Right now the 30 Downloads within 6 Days aka 5 Downloads per day is fair.
        But at the same time for me personaly anything much lower than that would be a no go if the price is not reasonably adjusted.

        And you also have to keep your competitors in mind - ALL the direct obvious ones offer UNLIMITED downloads, nearly the same content and to a lower base price and lower discounted price (for the most time)!

        If i would change anything with your subs it would be the following:

        • remove the one time option - nobody is paying more only because he/she does not need to cancel anything
        • keep the current sub like it is with regular offered discounts
        • add a new reduced subscription-option with a monthly price of 11,95 including unlimited streaming but only 10 downloads per 6 days instead of the 30.

        poptrek I'd like to see 5K-8K upscaled versions of popular older videos that are currently at blurry HD or so.

        So why did my download limit refresh date spontaneously change from the1st of the month to the 7th? The way you guys keep changing like this without warning or explanation is why people complain IMO. We all joined at a point in time with the implicit assumption that the limits imposed that day would hold for the remainder of the term of the membership. Changing that arbitrarily sucks. Changing it between memberships, NP.

        petergriff Some call it Immaculate Conception, others call it a really hot God/Mary/Joseph cuckolding scene. And before you complain about me disrespecting Christianity, my religion's highest sacrament is the Holy Cuckolding that delivered our savior to forgive us of our kinks and this country guarantees freedom of religion, so respect mine and I'll respect yours.
