Did you know the ps5 remote has dedicated buttons for Netflix, YouTube and Disney+?

Do they tho?

Isn't this like the dumbest thing you can do with a billion dollars? Like who in the fukk with a billion dollars would do this? Remember when Sony delayed a ps5 event because of the protest? Then they would match donations?

Well I can assure you they didn't spend ¼ billion, but Crunchyroll? Take my money!!!

You underestimate how much western companies are spending on licensing anime over here. Sony will control the entire market with this acquisition. It prettty much makes them the Netflix of anime

I don't estimate that at all because I feel like you're just trying to justify since it's Sony.

How much are they spending, elaborate:dwillhuh:
Anime is available everywhere, not just Crunchyroll. They just stream, they don't own to my knowledge. So please show me what you're talking about. thanks
hopefully sony builds them a new app
It wouldn't make the app more appealing, they have 3 million paid subscribers in like 20yrsv of service :scust:

they now own a good chunk of the western anime market
they own 95% of Funimation and now 100% own Crunchyroll
plus these are streaming services. the revenue from them will keep them afloat
