That's pretty generous, they must be having issues growing the subscriber base on PC.

Sabotaged by Microsoft's secret division.

Controlling both Funimation and Crunchyroll means one thing in the context of anime streaming services in the US, but taken with all the other things Crunchyroll does, like manga publishing and anime conventions, and the international anime companies Sony already purchased in Australia and France, the company could have a huge amount of control over the entire industry.

Personally I can’t wait for the next Game Pass Ultimate promotion, where you’ll get 3 months of PS Plus for free.

Western anime distribution is a bit of a joke at the moment in terms of competition. I think Netflix's investment might help out Sony here but not sure what the split looks like.
