Take a Hint
prevnextFunimation has gone bust and is being rolled into Crunchyroll, they will no longer be able to honor your digital purchases with them.
I am ONCE AGAIN reminding you that the 'all digital' future is not in your best interests as a consumer.https://t.co/Z5Hd9UJzP7

Own, Don't License
prevnextCrunchyroll absorbing Funimation, and in so doing discarding all customer digital purchases made on Funimation (including disc pack-in digital copies/codes from the past decade), does little to boost confidence in the future of 'digital ownership'. pic.twitter.com/WmPB9IwpUP

Big Yikes
prevnextSome of my friends used to rag on me for buying DVD’s and Blu-rays instead of just getting digital copies and then stuff like this funimation debacle happens. Like nobody is gonna come to my house and take my anime dvd’s so who’s laughing now?

Digital Is Iffy
prevnext“Digital purchases on Funimation won't be supported” SEE! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING! Physical media is absolutely crucial and most people just casually keep saying “nahhh make everything digital only there won’t be issues.” WAKE UP! https://t.co/bxVi497Jrq

Help Prevent Pirating
prevIt's a cliche at this point, but as Crunchyroll wipes away everyone's digital purchases from Funimation, remember that if buying isn't owning, than pirating isn't stealing.
