Crunchyroll to Compensate Funimation Users for Lost Digital Libraries

Following backlash, Crunchyroll announces efforts to compensate users for the loss of digital libraries after the merger with Funimation.

Crunchyroll's merger with Funimation led to the discontinuation of support for digital copies, sparking controversy among users.
Crunchyroll President Rahul Purini promises to work directly with affected users to provide compensation, including access to digital copies on other services or discounted subscriptions.
The compensation efforts are in response to the backlash from users who were previously assured they could stream their purchased digital copies 'forever'.
Attempts by users to secure compensation have been met with inconsistent responses from Crunchyroll customer service.
The merger, which officially ends Funimation's streaming service on April 2, 2024, has raised concerns about digital media ownership and access.
