They recently added a gift card option, maybe one can purchase a subscription wit it?

Dried-glue looking stuff?

So I've read through the first 6 pages of comments and most of the posts are split between "fuck you Fakku" and "we get it."

So here are my thoughts on the matter.

Even though I've been aware of the coming changes, I was still surprised to find out my favorites collection had been trimmed down so much (wish I had exported it beforehand!). Yes, it (really) sucks, and yes, I can see how a lot of people would feel pissed by it.

However!

I'm just glad that Fakku was up-front about it (literally, there've been multiple posts on the front page), and that they didn't try and cheat by paywalling everything, including the pirated stuff. Speaking for myself, I really hate it when sites paywall stuff they've pirated. If you're into JAV, then you know what I'm talking about.

Likewise, yeah, right now the subscription cost does seem a bit high compared to other online services (my RL gym membership is actually cheaper), but it's not like Jacob and crew are doing this out of greed. Server costs, licensing costs, translation costs... that sounds like it'll all add up very quickly. And I highly doubt anyone at Fakku HQ is driving around in a Ferrari (yet?).

And say what you will about the pricing of their subscription costs, but can you say that the quality has been lacking in anyway? How many people who have vowed never to come back will go on and (gladly?) pirate Fakku's releases on other sites?

So all I say is this: try and give it some time. Fakku has taken a very risky but bold move to turn the site (now business) into something that will only help hentai in the west, not harm it. Judging from the 11 physical releases I own and having been a member for the past 4 months, I think they're on the right track. There are things I definitely don't like (still can't download the mags... why?), but I'm willing to wait and see how things evolve.

And hell, if their success convinces more hentai companies to start up, then all the better!

I'm just hoping that by helping to put more money into the pockets of hentai mangaka I like, be it Homunculus, Hanaharu Naruco, Kisaragi Gunma, or whoever, that they'll continue to put out new releases.
