  • Downloads plan revamp

I think we should be updating our plans with 30 downloads a month (approximate value) with regular pricing, annuals and lifetimes 40 and 45 respectfully.

3x times download booster for active sub users will be like $39.99/mo.

Checking what's the downloads median that makes most of the loyal users happy. Regular users shouldn't see much change while data hoarders would have to pay a fair price. Pay per video is not going anywhere.

Also streaming 10min in app will unlock 5 extra downloads. Users with a history are going to enjoy bigger limits for sure 👍️ As well as those with connected sex toy and Passthrough.

SLR Drive is getting into development that is going to be your private storage.

Top download cohorts are the worst churn.
If you are a long term customer, regularly streaming in the app, have connected sex toy, tried PT your download limits are going to be much bigger than default ones.

Update. Here comes some data.
Percentages of users downloading more than 25 videos per month:
30-days bundle plan: 3%
30-days video-only plan: 7%
Monthly bundle plan: 2%
Monthly video-only plan: 5%
Annual bundle plan: 1%
Annual video-only plan: 3%
Lifetime bundle plan: 2%
Lifetime video-only plan: 4%

Loayl users are going to keep their privilege. New users looking into downloads will be offered "Downloads booster" deal and pay per video 👍️

    So 5x less downloads (30 downloads per 6 days to 30 per month) for monthly sub. Think this would be the 4th decrease to the dl limits? Does anyone have a better memory than me on this?

    How much bandwidth per month are the biggest downloaders using?

      Announcing this after seeing what happened with VRBangers is tone deaf

      You guys are really losing it. Focus on what used to make SLR great - great casting. What happened to all the big stars on here?

      I'm ok with 30 downloads a month as long as you implement AI passthrough downloads. Otherwise this just feels like another step to switch to streaming only rather than saving bandwidth or preventing abuse

      At first I was confused because it didn't make sense as it was written. Then I realized you just forgot a word. So fixed it for you below.

      I think we should be updating our plans with 30 script downloads a month with regular pricing, annuals and lifetimes 40 and 50 respectfully.

      doublevr We are considering introducing lower price tiers for new subscribers.

      All the active subs will keep their current limits intact.

        Silly-Sausage no idea what are you talking.

        Downloads are not going anywhere for regular users.

        Data hoarders showing the worst product loyalty will pay a fair price or go.
        Going to unlock extra downloads for those who stream 10 min in app.

        Everyone's happy. Updated OP a bit

            I’m being realistic. As a lifetime user this would mean I have 50 downloads a month not to mention infinite streaming. As someone who has been extremely active for about 2 years I would not notice this.

            This is still in the works as well. I don’t think the intent is to punish regular users, but to rather do something about those who are essentially downloading the entire catalogue.

            I think discussions about this, which SLR is doing is important. Rather than VRbangers just straight up removing the option completely

              xeddin1 I download a shit ton for creative content and probably won’t feel this effect. I don’t think most people will notice

              It's quite simple: Anyone downloading more than 30/month will notice. If a shit ton is equivalent to no more than 30/month, then you will not.

                If these users are the problem, why not implement a plan that is more restrictive towards short-term subscribers only?

                For example, Reality Lovers has the following model:

                • 1 month: (4K) streaming only
                • 3 months: 15 downloads per week
                • 12 months: Unlimited downloads

                    I like this a lot. It addresses the issue, targets the category of users that are most likely to abuse data hoarding, while not impacting the non abusers

                      I've been active on the forums for 3 years and the switch from PC/VR to Quest3/DeoVR is when downloads became less of a concern for me. I now fall in the camp of not noticing because I can stream uninterruptedly without loading issues unlike before which was my original need for downloading. Data insights show Quest 2 and 3 are majority of headset users and SLR Streaming vs Downloads data paints a picture of how much regular users would be affected.

                      In my opinion, even just one download per day is better than no downloads at all; possibilities still exist. Because I no longer use PC/VR and instead upgraded to Quest3/DeoVR which makes it possible to lay down watching vrporn, I plan on downloading one or two videos a day from either sub to my PC and then uploading them to my future SLR Drive to stream on my Quest3. I don't know what their download limits are, but I would imagine I fall on the reasonable side. If any of them remove the option, that's the end of my several years sub.
