Prestoff 02/15/24 3:26:36 PM #13:	To be fair on the digital copies, most of them was only a feature on Funimation if you bought the physical copy of the series so it's not like you're losing access to the series. With that said, it still poses the hard reality that digital only items means you never really own the item and at any point or discretion they can take it away from you. There should absolutely be outrage when it comes to things like this. Quezovercoatl posted...
