**Comment to Totem Entertainment**
Hi Team, This thread is for Totem Entertainment in special. I'm unable to chat with the team, to the company in Private OR I somehow I dont know how to find it. I know my words against you Totem Entertainment are not going to make me popular in any positive way, other members will probaly ask me to calm down or to take a chill pill again. But I'm honestly damaged in the feeling to trust to company because the company is not focused at the Single Customer, afterwards from my part it is quite stupid of me to believed that. By every single cards in all those years, I had the idea the company stood complete fully 100% behind their own products. I really tought "VirtuaGirl" and "Deskbabes" was a product the company really wanted for their customers, in my eyes VirtuaGirl and Deskbabes were your products. Why, I think I believed that was because VirtuaGirl and Deskbabes did already exist at the moment I became user by your company, so It was usual for me to think "Yeh, Totem Entertainment have two software distributes, fully concepted and created by the company". The fact is now, in all those past year the company changed and keep changing the software based on feedback. The majority of the forum leads the software on-and-on because of new idea's and suggestions, I think that is a good thing! But what now happening is good for others but not good for me at all.

But now I want to explain where exactly I did lost my trust in the company. On the moment the company decided to change the Core of one of their own Softwares, I did lost the trust aswell in the company. First you bring 'VirtuaGirl' and 'Deskbabes' together in one software program with a new refreshing name and after awhile the company 'replace' the Core features of the Software I liked the most "Deskbabes". I know you as company have full the right the change the software, both softwares. I really encourage the company to change the software to even greater level, but changes and improvements must not effect the core features. This whole scenario came over to me as 'hide first & remove silently'. I'm really disapointed at the Team for changing the Core Features and I blame the company I cannot enjoy the shows anymore how it used to be. This changes bring aswell alot of concerns to me as Deskbabes User: While the New XXX format is the new future right now, the new xxx cards will go with the flow of evolution about Top Resolutions and Top Quality's, but the XXX Cards with the old format will stay at 1080~3k, that's it. In the future I was mostly likely eager to buy more XXX Cards that supported my new monitor with greather resolutions and quality, but my most favorite type cards stops here..this year in 2017..simply saying, my software entertainment has no future anymore, I can enjoy these older XXX format Cards for time aslong the company is willing the remaster these cards. I'm mad, angry at moment. I felt like grapped holden by the neck and putted to the side-line. My desires with the software seems not to count anymore. I was always a satified customer, so you never heard ***** me. But ***** and make my differculties written in comment is all I and can do.

Sorry, Totem Entertainment but I'm really unsatisfied and emotional by the change of card type. I really dislike the fact I missed the oppertunity to help to improve the older xxx format The deskbabes card added with improvements was a 'Wish-Come-True' moment but aswell that doen't seem to happen.

This was my message to Totem Entertainment, Bye. 😢🔞

We just had a month of discussion about the state of the XXX cards, Totem listened and is going to actively make changes to the production of the xxx lineup. The old format is gone, pretty sure that was clear, but as a community, we are helping shape the new format. Our voices were heard, Rex acknowledged us. There are more than a few dissatisfied xxx customers with the product, and we won't see changes for a few months due to the cards already shot. But changes are promised!

I am not sure what the issue is here?

Is it that feels that the new XXX cards are dropping in the explicit nature or is it that the older cards may not be upgraded to higher resolution when it becomes available?

If the former, then I can sympathise with the point of view, although not everyone will agree,

But if it is the later, then that is a technical constraint and Totem cannot promise to always be able to reproduce the cards in a higher resolution. They couldn't do that for VG1 or VG2 and even the first two generations of VirtuaGirlHD haven't been upgraded to 1080, let along 3K except for a relatively few exceptions. The quality and the data storage media just don't allow .

Maybe this could be clarified?

Hi @Terbone
It makes sad to see a loyal member disappointed by our "moves" and I hope we will be able to bring your enthusiasm back to TOTEM.
XXX format was dedicated to those who love more explicit content and that's still true.
Be sure that our changes are always motivated by satisfying your desires. I undersand that sometime you can be lost but as @KatzPaw said, we are listening to our community and work hard to make a product that fit all your needs.
I'm aware we cannot satisfy everybody but I confident with our capability to reach the greatest number.

And your feedback, good or bad, help us.

**Comment to Totem Entertainment**
Hi kaiju, Totem Entertainment, The New XXX Format is just made for the Regular iStripper Card Fans. Team Member 'Rex' gave it away aswell by his thread saying to us "iStripper" is just ment for the Models doing "Dancing" performance. It is alot easier to copy and re-use the words her used in his Thread and let me salvage.

Said by Rex: We think it’s important even for XXX cards to stay closer to the original VirtuaGirl DNA. We’re producing girls on the desktop, not porn movies.

• This sentence is just proofs already the whole change of format movements is just for the Regular Card Lovers, Totem Entertainment. This sentene screams for feedback but rex's words says enough, feedback is allowed to come from one direction: Aslong the Feedback is Regular Card Related, then we might consider working on it.

Said by Rex: We are very interested to hear your feedback about it. Staying close enough to the DNA of our product (girls dancing on your desktop), what’s missing or need to be changed in the new XXX format?

• This sentence proof just what I just said even more

So, How can I be wrong with me conclussion. the company didn't protect the "Deskbabes" community but instead gave the 'VirtuaGirl" Community more Regular Card Entertainment.

What does this sentence meen, from you: "XXX format was dedicated to those who love more explicit content and that's still true." while "Rex" just have proven to me totally the opposite. another examples: "Stick to the Dancing" & "We are not recording Porn Movies".

I'm aware we cannot satisfy everybody but I confident with our capability to reach the greatest number

The different between the two types of cards had never and ever be a subject to talk about 'satisfy' or 'dissatisfy' all Customers. A Type of Card can only be improved properly if it stays the same type of Card, the company combined the two types.

Balance of Card Type:

• XXX Card is a Unigue Type, but need Improvements once in a awhile. (Balance)
• Regular Card is a Unigue Type, same story, need improvements once in awhile (Balance)

Imagine in fantasy a 'Libra Balance' tool. How it was before the New XXX Format the device stood equaly fifty-fifty (50%/50%), none of both type of cards had the features of eachother. But what the company did by changing the XXX Format, made XXX Cards lowered to 25% and Regular Cards (75%).

But the company didn't came with a Improved type of card. I really understand the super-majority think it is, but it is not. The company have listen, heard the VGHD community somehow, the VGHD community will always have the biggest majority because Porn is and never will be really that popular.

~ That bring me to the next.

Once a loser, always a loser
Sex, Porn, Sexual Fitness name it how you pleased is 'not' populair, no-where in Earth. The most group of human beings prefers Beauty and Body Performance over Filthy, Nasty & Dirty sexual fantasies. The same type of majority community is and will always be here by Software iStripper. XXX Fans will never have a fair chance to compete against the Beauty-Community, they win now and over couple months. The company gave us protection in the past but have chosen sides now.

My enthusiasm?, I dont know. I dont believe the company is going to make movement backwards how it was before all these scenario's begon for just one customer named 'Terbone' in special. There is only one remedy for me to become an satisfied customer again. And that remedy is, If the company makes XXX Cards unigue again and that meens no dancing and regular features anymore in the New XXX Format. I would like to see the company choose from other improvements solution to bring more entertainment in XXX Cards. Dont merge iStripper Cards with iStripper XXX Cards, it wrings my feelings every single time I see new cards in "Girls Store". If I watch a iStripper Regular Cards I enjoy the beautiful models and their sexy dance performance on my desktop, but I want to answer other desires if I watch a XXX Card. Both Type of Cards had their specific purposes thats why they never can be combined with eachother.

**Comment to Cartref**

Maybe this could be clarified?

The Deskbabe type of Card is no longer in production and that meens we are only able to enjoy the cards we already have purchesed in the past, but the evolution of resolutions and clip quality continues. Now, the company does remaster older cards from '720p to 1080' of from '1080p to 3k' once in a while based on forum requests I think. The problem I think is, the company is not able to remaster cards and remaster the same cards again.. over and over, it end's somewhere. I meen the VirtuaGirl Classic is not remastered in 3K, right? so, that is the future my Deskbabes cards will have to face. Soon I will have a TV or Monitor with 10k Mega Resolution and I will no longer have new cards in the XXX Older Format. so, imagine my Deskbabes purchesed Shows will be miniscule with the 1080p Resolution and Crystal Clear Quality and there is no new XXX card anymore to purchese with the old format.

The Software continues. The company produce even more better cards If there are better quality's and higher resolution on the market, Cards with Quality level: Shiny Pearl and Resolution 10K Full HD for example.

I don't always agree with @Terbone, but he really has a point here.
I don't like to see that xxx content is now more and more felt by the Team as "extraneous to the dna of the product" and progressively reduced.
As @Wyldanimal once pointed, and as I can see from some of the classic cards I own, such content has always been there, even before that Deskbabes product came out.
So, I feel Istripper to be about beautiful women dancing, stripping, teasing and (why not?) pleasuring themselves too.
I like such content, and I am not happy to see it disappear (recently were even published some xxx cards with just ONE xxx clip!)
At the same time, I like to see some dancing in xxx cards, so I liked the idea of new xxx cards; but they still need to be improved with more xxx content (Rex even stated that the cost of production stays the same!)

So, I will resume the improvements I would like to see in new xxx cards:

• more xxx content (the three clips promised by Rex are still too few in my opinion, they should be at least four or five)
• more sound (at least in ALL table clips)
• more vocal teasing, if the model is into it (no matter the language)

I would even suggest to add, if the models is willing to do such content and there are not cost increasings, to add a final xxx clip (without sound) to more regular cards.
Thanks to the Team for reading our feedback!

@Terbone I think it's time to channel all that energy somewhere else now :) Like making Gifs, something that takes way too much of my time.

**Comment to KatzPaw**
I prefer to put my Energy, Focus and Time Effort on the Forums, at the moment. I already blame myself enough for not being participated on the Forums last year, when everything was announced and about to happen. Afterwards now I have to fight like,..try to get it back what I liked so much, the entertainment for the desires I have, the real XXX Cards. But as usual these outstanding beautiful models blind-sighted me, I totally didn't noticed anything.

**Comment to Totem Entertainment**
I'm willing to pay more money for XXX Cards, you are even allowed to remove my Triple Diamond Discounts. In my opinion, you as company shouldn't work with huge Permanent Discounts attached to Ranks If the company experience any financial differculties with any type of cards or making deals with Models. I would spend 25~50 Credits easily for a Card without any hesitate. Regular Card or XXX Card doesn't matter, both type of cards have (suppose to have) unigue specific features. It is more then normal to spend more credits for a XXX Card because you as company have to ask a bit more explicit clips from the Models, that requires personal tastes of the models themselves. These discounts below are enormous!

• 0% Price Discount > Bronze
• 10% Price Discount > Silver
• 20% Price Discount > Gold
• 30% Price Discount > Platinum
• 35% Price Discount > Diamond -1
• 40% Price Discount > Diamond -2
• 45% Price Discount > Diamond -3

I would like to recommend the company to adjust the discount percentages to more advantages towards the company or just reward ranked up customers with 'X' amount of Credits or 1 Card of choice for Free. But maybe this New Discount table looks promising:

• 0% Price Discount > Bronze
• 5% Price Discount > Silver
• 10% Price Discount > Gold
• 15% Price Discount > Platinum
• 20% Price Discount > Diamond -1
• 25% Price Discount > Diamond -2
• 30% Price Discount > Diamond -3

Lets be honest peeple, the company and the models put alot of energy and time effort to present us some amazing shows on our desktops, I think something serious have to be done with these permanent price discounts. We even get Weekend Sales and Event Prices above this discounts so that is even more discounts. I dont have money allergy but my opinion is these discounts in overall is not reasonable towards the company anymore.

All this about discounts is just my opinion, I dont know how other customers thinks about the discounts and credits spend on cards.

@terbone I, personally, like things the way they are. Perhaps Totem should put a donate button on the site and you can, maybe, make a special donation through PayPal or some other payment processing company, if you want to give Totem more of you money. Or just ask Totem how you can give them more money. I'm sure they would accommodate you.

I too like things the way they are.
Member level discount rates are perfectly calibrated to have people buying more cards. They are not too high.
I just became a DoubleDiamond this evening: I am extremely happy for my new price rate, and grateful to Totem for that.
Please, "If it's not broken (and it's not, at all), don't fix it"...

**Comment to others about Pricing**
Ah yeah, I understand the community reaction already 😜, They should add a Toggle: Activate/Deactivate function for those who wants to change their Discount Options (this is some type of donation, but featured by Settings). How do you customers think about this idea? wont be used maybe by most of us but it still gives some of us kind of more freedom to do something towards the company at own choice.

Leave a comment how you think about this suggestion, thanks 😎

Personally I don't find it to be a good idea. It would be not right for same level members to pay different prices for cards. I think instead that if you wish to make a private donation to Istripper, you can just contact the Team members and ask them how to do. Thanks.

**Comment to HansSachs**
I dont want to donate 😄 like doing a real donation. Give money just away like that doesn't work for me. I wont and never will donate or just give money away. but with a toggle I see results right away, I see prices changes right away if I toggle Activated or Deactivated, Discounts Benefits.

@Terbone: All this about discounts is just my opinion (...)

I'm happy that this is just YOUR opinion ;). The prices are ok for me. I'm not *****. But you should remember: we are customers, and customers in most cases wants to buy goods for as low price as possible. If I could choose: get the thing for normal price or get the same thing for lower price - I will always choose the second option.

Donations are the other thing. In this case I'm with @HansSachs.

**Comment to Lukaszr**
Hehe 😄, Yeah ok understandable. thanks for your opinion. but please see the bigger picture, this whole idea about Discount Benefits is not ***** towards the customers but completly optional. And because it is optional, it is automaticly very good idea aswell. I'm a right? 😀.. look, you will probaly NEVER use this option but "I" and maybe more customers really like the oppertunity to choose between Activated and Deactivated Discount Benefits. Remember it is a luxery to choose between options?

Thanks for reading, Terbone 😎

Totem is a business and I'm a customer. I like their product and I hope they stay in business. I will not give them money for nothing. For some cards I'd be willing to pay more. Other cards not. In other threads I've already said I would pay something on the order of 2-3 credits per card to see certain 720p cards upgraded to 1080p. It's up to Totem to decide what to charge and under what terms. I'll decide what to buy based on my perception of the value of a card.

If Totem were to raise prices, I'd still buy cards, but not as many. Lowering prices would not cause me to buy very many more cards than I currently purchase. Producing more cards of with models I like or of a style I like would cause me to buy more cards, but I might get more selective to live within my budget. I have a limited budget for porn and everything else. I can afford to pay a bit more than what I'm currently paying, but not much.

**Comment to Costumers**
I'm sorry if my 'angry' comments have scare you off. It's not I dislike you totally as person if I disagree with your opinion. It is just the opinion that upsets me at the moment, we can laugh together tomorrow. 😉

I still love you Terbone!!! 😘

**Comment to Totem Entertainment**
Hi Team Totem!, Can you please variefy to us (me) if there are any troubles in finding Models for XXX Cards? Models that are not feeling confortable in making these kind of shows? because I hear this little bit to much from other customers. I always keep in mind XXX Cards is going further and ask more from the Model but do they really feel that disconfortable that we are about to stop with XXX Cards? or as now, you need to change your type of XXX Card not based on choices but you have to?

Thanks for reading, Terbone

Here is idea why not have everything be free the cards even the full shows free you don't pay for anything it's just free.

Here is idea why not have everything be free the cards even the full shows free you don't pay for anything it's just free.

Yeh, and i suppose the girls could fly to paris for free, perform for free and the staff work for free. /s

@Terbone

here is my thought.
Totem has not really had a price increase in Years.
I would support a 25% price Increase of All cards, but keep the member level discount the same as it is now.

Effectively, this would increase totems revenue, almost the same as the New discount structure you suggest.

So the base price of the card would go from 25 to 31.25 per card

and triple level at 45% would change from 13.75 to 17.19 per card
if you purchase credits in bulk, 500 for 50, then it is an additional $0.34 per card

Totem has not really had a price increase in Years.

That's true, but the introduction of the slot machine, scratch cards, sexy goose game and special event cards has likely increased the average amount users spend per card, especially if only the cards they actually wanted were counted. Considering how lucrative online gambling is, I suspect this is keeping Totem well in the black.

They might be able to further postpone an explicit price increase not only through new promotions, but also by creating non-gambling games that offer card purchases after various accomplishments. For example, Totem could charge users 1 credit for each play of a sexy version of Tetris where a discounted card is offered after completing every 10 levels. Games like this would generate income as users paid for entertainment rather than simply the chance to win (or lose) big. Since the application would run locally with only occasional network access to Totem HQ, there's very little cost to them beyond the initial app development. Of course, the ideal would be to offer discounted VR shows after completing various mini-games in the iStripper version of Cyberpunk 2077, but I'll try to keep my expecations realistic. 😎
