It should be a win-win, as it is with the countless other big VOD (non-VR) sites who take a percentage of the sales.
SLR refused to engage even in discussions on this - even when offered to meet with them at AVN last month to see if we can work out a favorable discussion. I've been in business successful doing content for 29 years, and in my view, it doens't matter if the amount of potential customers is smaller than other niches, if there is the opportunity to make some income, at a minimum investment and keep customers happy (and in your ecosystem so probably buying more) then you do it.
They don't see to want trans content here, it maybe because of the owners own tastes or culture, but we don't need to be here either for the little extra cream, if they're not going to work well with us.
