No, peasant, you can’t own your media. Now sit down and consume whatever we put before you!
If the media will only be available digitally, then I will only be pirating it
I have a weird theory that the reason this is happening is physical media was on the low end of sales anyway but it was valuable to Sony and other game makers to keep the relationship with the retailers and prestige of being on the shelf but the stupid Tariffs that got thrown around by idiots made moving physical goods a nightmare and to be stable companies side step Tariffs by going digital only.
I wonder where Blu-ray discs are made nowadays. If anything it feels like they are something that can be feasibly manufactured inside the US since the process should not be that labor intensive.
Yeah but the Retaliatory Tariffs cause issues no mater where they are manufactured the only answer is to have two facilities and the scale of economics make two plants unrealistic. Plus the Tariffs change on a whim so their plans dashed from week to week.
They’d have to import the equipment and materials to manufacture them, and those things also have tariffs. They’re not gonna do all this just to deal with a tax that might end up disappearing after this year’s midterm elections.
The store was a ghost town for months before the “update.” Truly flooding the grave of TRSI with piss.
Why do people still use Crunchy Roll or centralized media distribution/streaming sites?
You can build a better library with a VPN, some good Torrent sites, and about 2 TB of storage. You’ll have better quality, won’t get ads, won’t have to pay for old anime/media, and won’t suffer from other issues that centralized platforms for media distribution suffer from.
