  Well that’s great, then it shouldn’t be an issue to refund.

  So the only thing you’re losing is the stuff you paid extra money for? Wow!

    According to the article, the o to things being removed are digital copies that were given free with a DVD or Blu-Ray purchase.

    Not amazing (I would argue that Funimation should make all eligible digital copies downloadable before the service ends), but assuming customers have their original physical media, the loss is minor.

      I think the point they were trying to get across, at least in the notice they sent me, is people are losing this because crunchyroll has no implementation for these digital copies. It wasn’t clear if they were going to add this feature to crunchyroll, but I bet they are waiting to see how much of a shitstorm it causes before determining if it’s worth the revenue loss of the people leaving.

    That’s not really what I was going for. Whoops. I probably should have worded it differently. The streaming-only crowd shouldn’t really be affected that much is the point I meant to make.

  Shit, I didn’t realize that people are actually losing digital purchases. That’s like the worst thing you can lose. I was wondering what everyone was upset since I didn’t read the article (sorry) until I saw your comment.

  This is a really shitty move by them. I even say this as someone who likes Crunchyroll and has been using them for years.
