VRBangers got rid of the download button

maxsavage Removing functionality from your paying customers actually promotes piracy.

I think my suggestion works for everyone

They need a "streaming only" subscription for cheaper as an alternative to the "streaming + downloads" subscription, let the consumer decide if they want thousands of tb or more of vr videos stored on their PC, phones or multiple hard drives.

And then some of you download for reasons, traveling, slow net, or you have a particular vr player u like.

There's two consumers here, the i want to download and the I'm fine with streaming only consumer, right now there's only one option, has been like that for years.

I've suggested this many times over the years, really made no sense to me they didn't have it as alternative, like wth no streaming only subscription for cheap? I'll take that, my deo app streams great like I'm watching my local files, hardly ever any load time, unless my net slow, but majority of the time it's stream great. I have fast net so maybe that's why streaming works well for me, but if streaming weren't so great then it be different story, I'd have to download.

But yeah I think these vr sites need to add streaming only subscriptions. As alternative, let the consumer decide if they need the downloads. I'm sure plenty would opt in on that steaming only sub. Might even get new consumers.

Downloads don't work for me bro, give me a download option I'll download the whole site lol

I try to stay away from downloads.
I have shit load of files on my PC I rarely ever watch, I was actually thinking about deleting them all, but I'd have to do it right after a pop so I'll feel bad later, if I ever decided to get rid of them.

Really can't remember last time I went threw my PC vr files.

Idk, battel of the streams i guess

Your logic is flawed. They will not offer a streaming only subscription for cheaper. They will charge the same price for it and add a premium price on downloads. A company is not going to choose to make less money than their current setup. Regardless, they sold lifetime memberships that included downloads, so they need to honor that.

g2kbuffetboy hardly surprising, given how they somehow took over the oculusnsfw sub with that bullshit thread listing VRporn as everyone's favorite website, based on a poll which didn't even include them. The poll was open for like 3 days or something, initially excluded SLR until enough people complained, and I'm guessing allowed multiple votes from the same ip address (this is an option you can enable with strawpolls but there's no way AFAIK you can see how the poll was set up).
The sticky thread is still the first thing you see on that subreddit and is ridiculously biased. 2 years later I'm still mad about how blatantly the mod skewed the results, even putting vrporn in the #1 spot a year after the poll ended. Just threw it in there like we're all fucking idiots.

BML5768 agreed, but that's why they should of had streaming only available as a alternative since the beginning. Now they got to kind of go backwards and fix it up and start adding streaming only.

Logic or not, streaming only is available on alot streaming apps, it's going to happen.

And a logic alternative would be add streaming only as an alternative for consumers like me who can get pretty trigger happy with the downloads.

Silly-Sausage bro because I have a porn addiction, vr porn! you give me a download I will happily download the whole site, lol I have, but im speaking from my experience, for me having downloads is not good, it's time consuming, and I feel I need to down all i can, it became a problem for me, I had to buy more tb drives that got filled up real quick, and then when u have no more space you there trying to delete files you think u don't want, I got rid of lots of old navr scenes I thought I didn't want just to make space, now I wish I hadn't but they're there on the site for viewing but they have no streaming only available. So I just check out there trailers, and honestly really not missing much at navr

But no bro I'm no bot, I'm just speaking from my own experience.

I bet there's a lot of consumers out there that don't subscribe just for the fact they don't want a download available for them, they'll go crazy! So instead they watch trailers, free vr vids or them short vr trailers that like 10minutes long.

Idk, I'm just saying I been suggesting this for years, totally made no since to me they never had streaming only subscription as another option even tho it was crap streaming on oculus browser back then and crap on some vr apps they should of been offering it, but today's different, streaming vr porn works a whole lot better, for me it does, I wanna see it happen.

One day I can see it being more like a Netflix or a Amazon prime, and you'll subscribe, right, but also there will be other channels you can purchase to unlock. Like top sites who are stinngy with there content lol, imo we need all vr sites in one location, full of content, free content, paid content, you'll never miss out on what's new. It's all there. But some sites you going have to pay to unlock some channels.

But yeah, crazy shit going on, times are changing, the internet is changing.

Silly-Sausage Why would anybody on here as a user suggest a reason to remove downloads ?

I'm not suggesting that, never have never will, I been suggesting for years.
I said streaming only subscription as an alternative to what they have now.

Let the consumer choose if they want the downloads or the streaming only sub, is what I'm suggesting.

We need downloads, I might not always have good streaming capabilities, I know plenty of consumers travel so they definitely need the downloads.

But if only meta would offer some kinda internet severice on there headsets, internet on the GO, travelers may not need to download, if the streaming is good. But yeah...we need the downloads, personally I don't need them, but I know a lot of you do need it. So I'd never suggest getting rid of the downloads, that's stupid.
