Sony-Owned Crunchyroll Is Now Kneecapping Physical Anime Sales

Sony-owned Crunchyroll is significantly scaling back its physical anime sales, transitioning its online store to focus on collectibles and limited-release products exclusively for higher-tier subscribers. This move, which follows the acquisition and integration of The Right Stuf International, has angered fans who relied on the service for physical discs of anime and other media. The decision is seen by some as a continuation of Sony's perceived hostility towards physical media, similar to its plans for PlayStation game discs.
