AV1 Is Now Live on SexLikeReal!
harigeharry SLR Originals only exists I believe (slroriginals.com), but the catch is that it's still $20/month and they stopped adding their new videos to it a year ago, but ironically that's probably when it was last worth having a sub.
doublevr Focusing on Video quality alone will not make SLR unique and remarkable as long as the porn casting and overall theme is...
Huh, maybe I should write about my thoughts regarding VR Porn when I have a free time someday. Anyway, to each his taste and to each his decision.
And I know reading this, your mind will tell you that you succeed where everyone else has failed because of your decisions, but that's what's interesting about our egos/ minds, they deceive us most of the time.
This is why we return to history and this is why we ask/ listen for other's opinions (random complainers as you describe them) so we can make the right decision.
petex67 But that's the whole idea behind this sudden decision that's active immediately.
1- Make people complain until they ask for a new subscription plan.
2- Tell them, Oh, that's a great idea and we will consider this new subscription plan.
3- Make the new subscription plan that you "already" planned to add even before announcing the decision and tell your customers this is the subscription plan that "they" asked for.
4- Some customers will subscribe/ "upgrade" to this new subscription plan that costs them more for a feature that was in their previous subscription plans.
Business 101
The more I look at SLR as a business, the more I am confused what they are trying to be.
There's some Drive and AI thingy going on over at the other thread - a Cloud Drive for a subscription based Porn Site - why?
Then firing and rehiring of Directors. Can give some leeway on this one - maybe a Behind the Scenes disagreement or something.
Adding 2D content/compilations/etc. as opposed to more original content.
I just feel they are trying to throw everything on the wall and see what sticks. Or (which is worse), trying to do everything at once which is just a terrible idea in general and historically, every company that has attempted to do everything at once has pretty much failed and went bankrupt eventually.
To be honest I like what SLR are doing with Drive and attempting to get more viewers by adding 2D content which will then increase VR viewers and content - it's just the way they go about things is what I have an issue with
I do wonder if it's 1 guy at the top making these decisions on a whim or if they have multiple people planning and agreeing on a realistic roadmap
Is there pressure to reduce costs from AV1 server bills or is SLR just taking this opportunity to strip people of features and increase profits?
Right now it seems like half-baked things are randomly announced and implemented and rightly get a lot of negative feedback from the community
Leadership and feature stability isn't something SLR is known for these days and it's a shame, they have one of the biggest VR libraries and so much potential but these rash decisions are scaring away paying customers and tarnishing the brand
Just the fact that people have to spend hours reading the forums to get an idea of what changes are happening is eye opening. Any other company of this size would have big decisions planned out in advance and make a proper announcement via blog posts and emails - but instead SLR flip-flops on forums
Reading the video comments on recent SLR uploads has people asking why Original Quality downloads are disabled, they got yoinked with no notice, no discussion, no nothing
jommy Honestly it feels now like we're getting duped because of that whole 2d/flat content idea. They're obviously now hosting WAY more video's than before so if costs have gone up, then that seems like one of the key drivers. And again, 98% of us VR users isn't interested in flat content that we can watch for free elsewhere anyway.
It just feels extremely unfair. I will NEVER pay $7 for a video this way, even though I can easily afford it. But it feels like a scam and I don't like that at all.
1- Identity loss: They forgot they are a VR Porn dedicated site/ studio for VR Porn fans.
2- Blindly following: Best example is Apple Vision Pro headset with their INFERIOR "Spatial videos" AKA historically as Stereoscopic videos.
The whole "Immersive Flat" or whatever other names they call it is because Apple said so. You don't need a Sherlock Holmes to figure it out.
Instead of focusing and investing in higher standards regarding the cast and the overall theme to make VR Porn video masterpieces that will tie their brand with high quality contents which will attract more and more customers to their service as a result, they made SLR website like a Frankenstein that have many different things that confuse the heck out of any new novice VR porn fan who want to subscribe to their service.
Just imagine a new customer who heard a lot about how much VR Porn is amazing, comes to this site then look at all these different video formats without knowing what the heck they are, and his first encounter is "Immersive Flat" video. I don't want to be in his shoes that's for sure.
But, again, I'm just a random complainer, what do I know anyway. It seems AVP Spatial videos are more important than high quality VR Porn contents. It seems AVP SLR Customers are a priority. The whole three of them.
This isn't right, but we kind of it did it to ourselves as LT subscribers by sacrificing the ability to vote with our wallets.
If you haven't learned it yet, shaking your fist at the stone edifice that is SLR is basically fruitless. When it comes to business decisions, they listen and engage, but rarely heed.
What is left is maybe marginal impact, but its what is available:
- make sure those monthly/annual subscribers are informed
- spread the word through related communities and social media
- use every single ounce of what you have left--after all, you paid for streaming, downloads, support, etc, -- you should use every possible aspect to the maximum before they take it away

We are creating a pipeline for the next generation of vr porn.
Both state of the art 4K flat videos watched in VR, upcoming 16K VR180 and volumetric.
Creating Drive to give users all the tools to enjoy their most loved content in vr like never before.
There's a fundamental transition coming. If we stop it there would be the same boring stuff everyone loves complaining about.
I don't know yet many of the answers, but I'm here to make sure we get the best deal for all vr fans.
Bear with us. We are on the right side of history. All of us are making it happen.
doublevr I want to believe this, because I really LOVED SLR and I hope it will always be the best site for high quality VR Porn in terms of tech and content. If we complain and criticize, it's because we care and we want the best for both SLR and us. Because that's the best and fair balance that keeps us going together forward.
And I can't stress enough how much I like the staff and the community here compared to my previous experiences on other sites. And I really hope I'll continue my stay here as long as I can to be honest.
Let's hope for the best for everyone.
Best Regards.
VRXVR thx. I sure care like no one else.
First thing I want is to make thoughtful decisions that help us moving forward and deliver community. If decision isn't perfect there's always a way to change or revert.
We are open, transparent and innovative like no one else in the industry. We made numerous fundamental changes with the app, PT, AI, sex toys like no one else. Every time we were given a hard time from users and every time it worked despite all the hate and criticism. Adding high quality flat, Drive and higher resolutions just can't go wrong.
The change is never pleasant, but once we roll it out you guys are going to love how everything is getting better. We manage to innovate and run sustainable economy for everyone's better. And if we don't do the change things won't be getting where they have to be. Everything has a price.

Every 'genuine VR enthusiast' understands that Heresphere is the best VR player to watch 'downloaded' scenes including Allpha Passthrough as DeoVR has acceptable streaming but is absolute garbage for downloaded content - I couldn't care less about the upcoming new release as that will be a buggy mess for at least six months and probably remove essential options.
Could someone explain to me how removing the option to use the best VR player and to restrict us to streaming only unless we pay a premium $6.99 for downloads is a better service ?
So... to improve image quality and service we are being restricted to streaming only which everyone knows is inferior and taking away the option to watch Alpha Passthrough scenes in Heresphere ? Again... Totally bizarre !
Personally i cannot tell the difference streaming in DeoVR between 2880p or 4000p, they honestly look the same to me, and around 4k.
As a lifetime subscriber i used to pay for the exceptional SLR scenes just to give back and support SLR as i believe in giving back for a good service - However, I 100% guarantee i won't be doing that from now on or supporting the 'Drive' which is a great idea but way, way. way overpriced, also the casting lately is absolutely appalling !
I'm guessing even the 4k flat scenes which i might have downloaeded and watch on my tv in bed won't have a download option - Seriously, please do a survey of who on earth would watch these scenes !
I do understand you have to make changes to persevere and move forward, but i guarantee you by removing downloads will cost you and just piss 'EVERYBODY OFF' - At this point it's quite funny how you totally ignore my advice and do the exact opposite and i use this to my advantage for a bit off fun and ruffle a few feathers - lol - Red or black ?
I'll give one bit of advice - add AV1 in place of Original hi res downloads - and continue to offer 8k downloads - Or prepare to make significant losses and a massive backlash and hate 
Buy on the dip and get another sub
I used to come on here praising you guys all the time but even Alex Nash has lost the plot. - I like to invest but it definitely won' t be VR.
Myself and many, many other have been asking and pleading for new BGGG scenes for over a year now as they tend to be some of the best VR scenes i have ever seen, but promises broken constantly are just becoming a joke at SLRs expense.
Let me guess you are listening and blah de blah de blah

Here's an idea -As all the upcoming changes are for the 'Majority customer' and satisfaction - then the perfect scenario would be to hold an SLR customer survey of upcoming changes to remove downloads and how most customer feel about that
Again, investing is alll about the fundamentals - unfortunately SLR seem to have lost sight of this and the diversication is distracting from this.
Please make high quality VR scenes with beautiful 'Porn Stars' and make them downloadable so we can watch them on a VR Player of our choice - I personally couldn't give a shit about all the other stuff as long as you provide this.
However, you guys have to make jobs for people and be diverse for the sake of being divserse and lose money because of it and put that cost onto customers.
Thank god i don't have to work any more and put up with this absolute bollocks
Can anybody set up that survey for users / complainers to vote on - Denny Crane ....
Instead of 'Pipeline' (LOL) why not streamline, cut costs and provide a VR yes VR service that users have signed up for - Again i find im patronising someone who doesn't have a clue.
I would love to have an honest no bullshit drink with the CEO of this company and tell them what they are doing wrong - The only reason is SLR Origiinals - i can get everything else on another site !!!!!!!!!!
At the end of the day i'm genuinely giving good advice as a heavy user, but have zero faith in where this is going - Unfortunately i don't even like Alex Nash productions lately and i was his biggest fan !
Silly-Sausage Myself and many, many other have been asking and pleading for new BGGG scenes for over a year now as they tend to be some of the best VR scenes i have ever seen, but promises broken constantly are just becoming a joke at SLRs expense.
This should be SLR biggest investment they should be focusing on. This is what will bring people to the site. Making these scenes so people on Wankz/POV see it in the "Discussion About Other Studios". And think 'damn that looks hot' I need to get a sub over there.
They say they are making more BGGG scenes. They have been saying that for months now. There was one 7 months ago and one 2 months ago. That's it, 2 scenes in over a year.
I know that when you shoot a scene it takes some time to get it edited but I don't see any in the upcoming part or in the thread. So if they shoot just one BGGG scene today we wont see it until may. I doubt they even have one planned for the next month.
In concussion we might see a BGGG scene sometime this summer, fingers crossed. This is the biggest thing that would bring people to SLR

rerun119 In concussion we might see a BGGG scene sometime this summer, fingers crossed. This is the biggest thing that would bring people to SLR
Concussion is probably the accidental description of users requesting BGGG scenes after banging their heads against a wall for the last year - see what i did there...
But i'm not even looking forward to the new scene as the girls are not my type at all
It's almost impossible request anything that works - they just don't seem to get it !
I just wanna see beautiful slim porn stars, not grannies with fake tits
I paid for a 1 year subscription and as far as I'm concerned you are blatantly acting in bad faith and removing something from my subscription that I had every right to assume would not be removed, especially not to a ppv model.
Really lame and you are just bulldozing past this point.
