This is going to change because we are making sales that are worth almost nothing, basically. So get them while you can at this rate. The discount will soon be adjusted way down and based on the real value instead of a flat fee.

check's new prices:
Prices has been increased by over 100%
Does basic math: $60 per month, times 12 month....
1 year of Gonzo scenes, $720
<---- /Puts FIREresist gear on
1 year of Brazzers: $120, 60 updates per month (vs the 25 of Gonzo)
Mmmhhh.....

Now, when you sell extra expensive scenes (we spend a bit more on content than Brazzers, and others) with stuff like DAP and pee, you can never reach high numbers because the number of people ready to buy this is limited in the first place. Niche content is bound to have a high price or its production would disappear.
If we were to turn LP into a $30 membership site we would have to lower the production to 1 scene every 1-2 days.

but a lot of videos look half baked, no passion, with inexplicable grainy shadows, yesterday release,
1 on 1 with oil and a hot 27 year old, like the video could have been so much better, but it's so tamed.
Does anybody cares about quality over there? lol

2 simple mentions SZ1144-SZ1157
So magizi87 I understand your point perfectly!!!
vinpin wrote:Obviously you guys at LP are in the business of making money, nothing wrong with that, and I imagine that whopping 80% discount for the monthly gonzo pack probably wasn't making much return for you guys if any but it was oh so good of a deal that spoiled me. These new packs sound promising but the higher price points will honestly cause me to become a lot more picky and probably spend much less than $30 a month on gonzo now. Whereas before those $30 monthly gonzo packs were pretty much a guaranteed buy for me around midway through the month.

My last purchased scene is june third,
that's an eternity ago for a guy like me.
magizi87 wrote:I also think they just don't do male-dom anymore,
there isn't a Mike Angelo per say,
A lot of the male actors probably just do what Luis tells them to do
and they don't do anything on their own, they don't add their own spin to the scene.
They are basically dildoes with legs.
dammit, sucks to realize this.

mrichardson1975 wrote:There are several problem with this price increase:
firstly it is double the price, which is crazy.
secondly, I dont like everything that Gonzo produces and I don't like all the actresses either.
Thirdly, the older scenes are "free ticket" only so even if I buy additional tickets I can't use them for the older scenes which makes buying them no longer possible without waiting ages to get free tickets or paying the cash price which is always way too over-priced.
I never seen any business model work whereby if they are losing money they increase the price. If anything you should realise that maybe you are already more expensive than the competition and reduce further your prices to make people more willing to part with their hard earned cash. Everyone wants value for money at the end of the day, and not everyone has the same tastes (which goes to my second point).
I would not mind this price increase if it was to include all monthly videos rather than for just one studio. (a all LP monthly sciences option) that might be then worth the 60 Euros.
I look forward to see what you do in the future with Genres and models, but guess you will also over-price everything.
I bought several months and was considering buying more when they go to free ticket only mode (as mentioned in my third point), but now with the price increase I will be buying none.
