I'm a bit confused by the title, which says
but the second half of the article lays out how access to digital anime can disappear.
Where's the good? The hope that good or equal value will be given? Is that still good when you lose other anime you already had?
If it ends up being good it will be good. If it ends up being bad it will be bad. Sometimes I think they just write articles for the sake of writing articles.
The purpose is not to provide value. It is to acquire clicks.
It could be good because if they actually gave their customers a refund or access elsewhere then they've at least made up for the closing.
Naturally, if you received something actually of equal value, it's generally alright, in the same way that I'll accept a FedEx van running into my mailbox if they paid me enough to replace it.
The emphasis is on "could" because they tested the claim that they're doing the equal value thing and found they don't seem to be. So the claim of giving something worth the digital goods you're losing just isn't holding up, so they're shit.
