| Jackie Treehorn Member It'll knock both your eyes out! 311 Posts 3/04 | Posted - Apr 3 2016 : 6:40PM I don't watch stuff on my PC, so streaming is useless to me. I down stuff to a USB flash drive and plug that into a bluray player to watch. If I really like a scene and want to keep it, I will move it into a save folder on my computer until I have enough to fill a blank Bluray disc. I will never sub to a site that doesn't allow downloads. While Digital Playground isn't something I would bother with anyhow, I would have grabbed a MOFO's sub if they hadn't dropped downloads. Seems to me that offering the paying consumer less for their money is a good way to drive them elsewhere to acquire your content. [Link] |
| Goldstein All-Star Member "You have sacrificed nothing and no one." 3689 Posts 8/10 | Posted - Apr 3 2016 : 7:54PM There are a few limitations and, essentially, a two-month waiting period on new scenes before you can download them for free. And, after the two-month period is up, you can download almost everything for free. I download DigitalPlayground scenes all the time! Perhaps, my comments in this thread will be helpful to you: No more downloads on Mofos? [Link] |

| Goldstein All-Star Member "You have sacrificed nothing and no one." 3689 Posts 8/10 | Posted - Apr 4 2016 : 10:16AM I don't think, with regard to DigitalPlayground, that I've been "grandfathered" into anything. (Although, with Mofos, I very well may have benefited.) The DigitalPlayground Downloads FAQ, which I posted in the Mofos thread I linked to, applies to everybody (not just members who have been around for a while). Basically, what DP is doing is preventing people from joining for a month, downloading everything and then disappearing -- which is precisely what many people have been doing. That's no longer a viable business model for a company that produces new content 12 months a year. Personally, I think DP has implemented a very fair system of carrots and sticks with their download policies. (Yes, now that I've worked with it, my opinion is far more favorable than when I initially posted about it in the Mofos thread.) So, while the original poster did not get what he expected, DP did not lie to him and did not cheat him. In fact, seldom have I seen company membership policies so clearly and transparently spelled-out, as DP has done with their FAQ  FWIW, I have found DP to constantly be adding enough new content to make a "12 Month Full Access Membership Plan" more than worth it. Better yet, if you are already a Brazzers (PornPortal) member, add a DigitalPlayground "Lifetime Pornportal Members" membership to your account -- for only $50 -- when they offer it during one of their frequent sales, and start downloading DP scenes immediately. Here is the DigitalPlayground Downloads FAQ posted right now, April 4, 2016, on their website: http://ma.digitalplayground.com/member/faq/downloads/   IMPORTANT: 2016-06-01 The downloads policy has changed since I posted it here. See further down the thread for updated information! Edited by - Goldstein on 6/1/2016 5:12:33 PM [Link] |
| Anal-Porn Archivist Member Ass-obsessed 274 Posts 2/15 | Posted - Apr 4 2016 : 4:09PM Sounds interesting, especially since I'm a longtime Brazzers subscriber. [Link] |

| Billyslowhands Member 14 Posts 4/16 | Posted - Jun 1 2016 : 1:50PM Digitial Playground has changed their policy. Customers now have to pay to get the download option. You can pay either 19.94/ month or 79.94/ year to be able to download. I'm trying to keep my cool but this seems like a bait n switch to me especially when joined based on #3 on the Downloads F.A.Q.

| Mister Fahrenheit All-Star Member Meh 4655 Posts 10/13 | Posted - Jun 1 2016 : 2:21PM All the BS I've read on this forum about the MindGeek Companies' billing practices and piss poor customer service has only reinforced my position on staying away from them. They abet piracy and their product is generally inferior as well, so really not that hard of a choice. Edited by - Mister Fahrenheit on 6/1/2016 2:25:21 PM [Link] |

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: I joined Digital Playground as a Lifetime PornPortal member on 2015-08-05, and am still able to download for free (except for the first two months exclusion when a new scene has been released, as has been the policy). Obviously, there is a cut-off date where they changed the policy -- but damned if anyone will be able to determine what that date is As of now, MindGeek has been respecting all my rights on all my memberships I have with them. I think MindGeek is vastly over-playing their hand here, vis-a-vis downloads, and will be severely punished by the buying public should they continue along these lines [mod edit: thread width issues] Edited by - killbillvol69 on 10/11/2024 5:27:48 PM [Link] |

| Goldstein All-Star Member "You have sacrificed nothing and no one." 3689 Posts 8/10 | Posted - Jun 2 2016 : 7:45AM Since the splash screen I see correctly shows me that, "You now SAVE 100% off your downloads," I haven't given it any real thought. Now that it is obvious that DP is changing things around -- and paid members are being affected differently -- we need to watch each others backs.  Are any of the rest of you seeing a similar splash screen when you log into DP? If so, what does your message say? I'm assuming that the purpose of this splash screen is to encourage members to "upgrade" their memberships, if needed, to have "free" downloads. Edited by - Goldstein on 6/2/2016 7:48:13 AM [Link] |
| Goldstein All-Star Member "You have sacrificed nothing and no one." 3689 Posts 8/10 | Posted - Jun 2 2016 : 11:59AM So far, so good (for me). [Link] |

| Goldstein All-Star Member "You have sacrificed nothing and no one." 3689 Posts 8/10 | Posted - Jun 2 2016 : 4:10PM As a Lifetime PornPortal Member, you should be getting 80% Off -- right now. Almost looks like they are counting you down, as if you are a brand-new member??? If so, maybe after four more months (i.e. a total of six months since April 2016), you will reach "free downloads" status? PLEASE keep us informed as to how this progresses. [Link] |
| Goldstein All-Star Member "You have sacrificed nothing and no one." 3689 Posts 8/10 | Posted - Nov 20 2016 : 9:53AM WTF! The previously available and transparent DigitalPlayground Downloads FAQ is no longer available. (In fact, I also tried to access it from my saved URL link, and it just returns a "server error.") OK, after further searching, I was able to find the current Digital Playground Downloads FAQ posted as of November 20, 2016. see this post So, I will have to revise my opinion of DigitalPlayground, yet again, and agree with Slice Backhand that "DP is probably one of the harshest" with regard to its new "Full Premium" upgrade and pricing policy! FYI, the only option offered for the "Full Premium" membership upgrade is $19.95/per month -- and that's in addition to whatever "membership" option you're already paying for  Edited by - Goldstein on 11/21/2016 9:49:11 AM [Link] |

| Goldstein All-Star Member "You have sacrificed nothing and no one." 3689 Posts 8/10 | Posted - Nov 20 2016 : 2:04PM Interestingly enough, when I renewed my Brazzers membership earlier this year, my credit card company held up the transaction until they personally talked to me to verify that it was me placing the order, and that I knew what I was being charged for. My bank told me that they had been having a lot of complaints about this company, and are being extra cautious with approvals. Join a website... don't get what you expected... are refused a refund... are upcharged to enable downloads (i.e. what you thought you were buying in the first place)... I don't know that many people are going to be willing to pay in excess of $200/per year for sites that were less than half that amount less than a year ago. In fact, the "premium upgrades to enable downloads" usually cost more than the initial "membership" in the first place! Are companies other than Brazzers/Mindgeek now using similar "bait and upcharge" business models? Seriously. I've been receiving many "come back now" membership offers from sites that I've let lapse, at very tempting prices -- but I am now not trusting any of them. For example, Evil Angel has been offering me $69/per year to rejoin. FYI, I just checked Evil Angel's website, and they are stating upfront on the "membership join" page that membership includes "unlimited free downloads." Well, good for them :) [Link] |
| Goldstein All-Star Member "You have sacrificed nothing and no one." 3689 Posts 8/10 | Posted - Nov 21 2016 : 9:40AM It took some searching, but I was finally able to find it. (You already have to be a member and logged into your "Account" area of the website to be able to view the "Downloads FAQ.") So, it would seem that DigitalPlayground still has a path to downloads built into their regular full access membership plan(s), in addition to the "DP Premium" upgrade.
