    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:

        1. You have both a CR subscription and buy the Blurays (that’s me).
        2. You pirate the simulcasts and buy the Blurays.
        3. You only stream.
        4. You only pirate.

        Cases 3 & 4 remain the same. Case 2 will not suddenly go to a subscription and case 1 already has a subscription. So cases 1 & 2 simply become cases 3 & 4. There is no extra money to be made, only less.

        Technically there is a case 5, where you only buy the Blurays, but that seems very much an edge case or only theoretical.

          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…
