So if the percentage of downloaders is so small why is it that you limit downloading so strictly on slr ?
In my case (and after googling a bit also for a bunch of others) that deovr app is absolutely not working on my quest so my only option is downloading stuff and use a different player.
Would be nice if we could just stream into other players but thats once again a thing that has to be strictly limited
I know its a bit off topic but when you look at it closer you will see my doubts when it comes to an slr stroker.
That thing will probably only work with an active subscription (which are often double charged or terminated for no reason, look on the slr discord if you dont believe me) and if i dont have that anymore be it my fault for just cancelling it or slr fault for terminating it i can throw the device away i guess.
Honestly i get the idea to make vr more user friendly and let creators profit from it but this all closed policy doesnt work in that space.
Slr is not apple.
Porn got pirated to the point basically everything is available for free now same with movies or music.
The absolute only reason people pay for spotify netflix and co is because its more convienent and at the same time affordable and they can use it on every device offline or online however they like.
If you keep it all so closed up as it is now its a matter of time before pirating vr porn and scripts becomes huge.
Fighting piracy is a never ending battle. The most effective form has been cloud based services. But this isn’t about fighting piracy. This is about monthly renewals. As the global economy has tanked, so has cancelations of nonessential memberships. They want to keep people renewing, and a great way to do that is hostile engineering. Make the experience as easy and enjoyable as possible while operating in their ecosystem, and as difficult as possible to go over to their competitors. Cell phone companies have been doing this with brand locked phones for decades.
it goes hand in hand actually or do you know alot of people who still download music illegally ?
most people just keep their spotify because they can use it how they want when they want where they want
There’s too much to say and too much to argue about when it comes to this topic.
Let them release the device that they want and let the market decide. We have plenty of alternatives cause unlike Xbox(who lost market dominance in part due to always online DRM) they don’t own or control this community.
They have to convince US to buy their device and pay for their service. There’s literally too much fucking content in this community to be concerned with one service. I’d rather just pay people through patreon and buy scripts thru payhip, gumroad etc and download the video than do streaming so I’ll just continue doing that. I literally have shit that I paid for and haven’t gotten to yet.
They’re coming at this as a business and most of us are coming at this as consumers, there was little chance we were gonna meet eye to eye on everything in here.
So, as a recap. It sounds to me SLR is saying: you should just stream with SLR period. Like that’s the only thing people use a toy for. Who will honestly buy a toy like that? Probably only people who don’t do their research.
There is a reason handy is so popular and a big one is the open API. it can connect to anything, games, faptab, other porn sites and players, your own code, whatever. There are tons of projects that have been born because the handy has a good open API. Hell, even SLR makes use of this open API for deovr.
You’re not seeing that the 20% of your sales that wants to download offline is going to be by far your loudest customers when it comes to reviews. You will get slammed. New streaming customers will be put off by word of mouth and 1-stars from tech enthusiasts who post on reddit and write reviews far more often. Putting out a locked-down stroker might also further damage SLRs already bad reputation for exclusionary sales tactics.
The funOSR 2.0 is out. I love it. It can hold a fleshlight, is comically powerful and has 360° rotation for under $200. Good luck undercutting that while adding functionality. I myself used a Handy with a fleshlight for 2 years before switching. It works fine on all but the fastest scripts.
If your device has a battery (unless its an arc reactor) and it holds a fleshlight, it will either be comically heavy or run for 5 minutes on a charge.
I have read all of your replies and… wow sad.
It really is the age of doubling-down and not listening to logic from the people who would be your biggest fangirls if you made something that catered to their needs.
Are we just worried SLR will make an amazing device that can’t be used anywhere else? if so its probably unlikely, also if they do good for them, it will encourage people to go to there and use their service. If they then want to open it to a larger market for more sales i.e open API that would be great! I like SLR its like porn netflix its just too expensive when you add up the monthly cost + scripts etc compared to say POVR
Yeah something must be wrong on my side of course xD
Yes i do run the latest version my internet connection is more than fine i can access the website from every other app that has an in built browser in like 1 sec just not in deovr.
The internet is full with people complaining about deovr not working
like everywhere reddit your forum etc. i think i saw one reply in the forum from you even admitting the issue with slr page not loading in deovr and that you have no idea why that happens but people should try to reset the boundary
I did write a ticket like 1,5 months ago which i never got a reply to.
I went on the slr and deovr discord and thought maybe someone can help me there which two of your scripters tried but the support channels and the actual support staff picks like one issue a month up tell the person they gonna check and then be gone again for another month.
Not sure if you dont know whats going on there or if you dont want to know but youre on it so check it out if you dont believe me^^
Whatever it is i suggest to focus on fixing real existing issues than creating new ones.
i mean thats already the case
i wanted to subscribe and it didnt work on my quest so i tried to find the issue on the internet and went down the slr/doublevr rabbit hole of 2 years getting his and slr´s reputation to where it is now ^^
but i dont want to waste your time tbh after i read about all the double charges and terminated accounts who also never get a reply to their tickets or on discord and last but not least how you talk down to people so often i wouldnt even subscribe anymore even if it worked
what exactly sounds like bullshit ?
i told you where i wrote about my issue i told you what my issue is i even provided you the google search where you can find dozens of people with the same issue
and exactly thats the attitude that makes you so loved dude
