    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…
