Sony putting Crunchyroll new "curated" store behind a monthly paywall

[Kovlak]

Sony is putting a paywall on their new "curated store":

“This August, we are transitioning the Crunchyroll Store to a brand-new shopping experience that will be available exclusively for Mega and Ultimate Fans. The new store captures the excitement of convention-exclusive merchandise, collectibles, curated drops, and limited-release products inspired by the anime series you love.”

Crunchyroll explained that “Fan-tier subscribers will still be able to browse its store, while only Mega and Ultimate-tier subscribers will have access to the ‘new curated experience”

Crunchyroll fans soon will have to pay almost $14 a month just to use the company’s new online store.

Get the stuff you want fast! Governments and multinational companies like Sony are probably going to try to finish off online piracy after an global online id system is in place.

Sony is moving quickly to try to monopolize their share of the entertainment market.

Even as someone that won't be affected by this (I have one of the higher tiers) I'm still pissed they're doing this.

May very well be. The general goal seems to be social control.
