I’m one of those crazy people that actually purchases media of the things I enjoy. I spent a lot of money on Right Stuf over the decades. Apparently Sony doesn’t want that money. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wrong kind of money. They want infinite money glitch from subscriptions that they can take away access willy nilly, not purchases that peasants like us can own and keep.

That’s the wild thing, they actually get less money that way. There are like 4 cases:
Cases 3 & 4 remain the same. Case 2 will not suddenly go to a subscription and case 1 already has a subscription. There is no extra money to be made.
Technically there is a case 5, where you only buy the Blurays, but that seems very much an edge case or only theoretical.

I’ve never made the switch over to Blu-ray (and every Blu-ray I have been gifted has been a terrible experience for me – WHY AM I NOT ALLOWED TO PUT SUBTITLES ON WITH THE ENGLISH AUDIO‽‽‽ IF YOU’RE NOT GOING TO PROVIDE CAPTIONS I NEED SOMETHING) so I was involuntarily placed into case 4 some years ago because anime seems to have stopped releasing on DVD at all.
I also used to love buying from RightStuf, as well, but I’m not wanted apparently.

My guess: because the English subtitles will not match with the English dub. I can imagine that would be even more confusing/distracting.

For sure. I would like to be Case 2, but I am current not able to so it’s Case 4 then. A shame, really. I didn’t check for the longest time but pretty sure they don’t ship what they’re selling to my country.

I never bought directly from CR, because they don’t sell it here either and are the wrong region for my player, but they do a lot of releasing here through other sellers. But if they don’t sell through their own shop, I doubt they will through others…
