"Digital Library Debacle: Sony and Funimation's Erasure and Shutdown"

Sony-owned streaming service Funimation is set to erase subscribers' digital libraries on the platform after April 2, despite previously assuring customers that they could keep streaming these digital copies "forever." This move comes as Funimation accounts will transition to Crunchyroll accounts following Sony's acquisition of the rival anime streaming service. Subscribers who added digital codes from physical media to access content on Funimation will no longer have access to these digital copies, leaving many without a way to access purchased media. Refunds for these digital copies are not addressed in the announcement.
