[QUOTE="Smeelia, post: 428593, member: 273"] [b]Re: [UK Anime Distributor] MVM Entertainment Discussion Thread[/b] I think the worst part about it is that the "tier" of an anime is basically decided entirely by profitability (or maybe that should be "perceived potential profitability", since you can only really find out how profitable it actually was after the fact). I know it's kind of an inherent flaw in the system (or society, I guess?) but I don't think that makes it okay. Not that I have an easy alternative solution handy either. I suppose an all-digital future could work if companies would be less concerned about piracy and more willing to allow people to download to own things and keep them as they wish. It'd certainly be a potential option for those anime that aren't successful enough to warrant a physical release but still want to make some money selling to whatever customers they can find using a low-cost option. Even then though, it's quite possible the files could become unusable at some point if they're in the "wrong" format (though I suppose any media has this risk in some way). [/QUOTE]
