They would probably make more money if they’d just put the shows up for sale for direct download as soon as they air.
Seriously, it’s 2026 for fucks sake. Why can’t I just go to the studio’s website and pay them a dollar (or whatever) to download an MP4?! I can understand the old conservative idiots running old studios with old stupid practices, but why is NO ONE doing this? Especially as studios keep going out of business and reforming? Have they never seen Steam and GOG for game sales? Bandcamp for music?
Okay but if they did that the episodes would all be on pirate sites day one, unlike right now where they don’t do that and the episodes are all on pirate sites day one anyways.
They sure are protecting their profits or whatever lol good job guys.

…rant rant rant…
They want recurring revenue
Zero revenue is still zero revenue.
I’ll just keep downloading my anime then and they’ll still get zero money from me.
