    Buying a digital copy of something you cannot download is an oxymoron. It only makes sense if you subscribe to a service.

      So steam, basically? Less likely that they’ll be shutting down anytime soon, but still.

      Edit: people downvoting don’t seem to understand how steam works

        Not a good comparison. With Steam, you download the games to your computer. If Valve ever went out of business, they could unDRM the games, or you could crack them.

        Either way, you download the games onto your computer. That’s not the case with Funimation.
