That is wonderful news about the end of the reign of DRM at GGG! I've been waiting for that day for many years, and have signed up multiple times despite it (and as I have ways, tedious ways but still ways, around it).
As for your Con about the video style - I certainly understand how you could hate it. It is extremely harsh, makes much use of being hand held and the sets and costuming are aggressively unpolished. However, having watched years of John Thompson's work, I assure you this is very intentional and the camera operators are quite skilled. Despite making use of the mobility of a hand held camera (shooting extreme low angles, between appendages, et cetera) rarely do their videos exhibit that nauseating shaking and lost sense of purpose (aiming randomly around the scene). So my point is simply that they have developed this look and maintain it quite diligently - while I would never photograph a scene this way myself, I fear GGG wouldn't quite be the same without that style. It is the type of pornography that still manages to polarize people, and that is admirable in a society that is so numb to so much.
Anyway, thanks for the interesting review and the good news.

Good news. The end of DRM cannot come fast enough. I've never had a good experience with streaming video or DRM, they just don't play well and it really seems DRM interferes with playback of any sort. I don't tend to "collect" porn for long periods (I periodically purge my porn and start collecting all over again), but DRM never really worked for me because it DOES interfere with good playback of videos.
Thanks for the review.

Very good review. What is the resolution of the vids. Is is now 640x480 in general or are still older vids in 400x300?
Nevertheless thanks for this. I'll join again soon.
