Overlord is one of my favs for all around. Konosuba is one of the best comedies out there.

That's why you pirate it before the purchase, if you can. That way, you can keep the originals around. Or buy it on physical media, if you can.

I don't believe they can do anything about the shows that are already out or coming out soon. What matters is the future and how Soyny will be involved trying to ruin everything.
Elden Ring already lacks the based male or female character creator option. It's already insane. Modern games are shit. Elden Ring female character creator need a serious improvement.
For the series of anime that are already out they will be preserved on piracy sites. In case Soyny tries to go back to Konosuba season 1 and censor anything.
I also do not buy Soyny anything. the Playstation became garbage with the PS3 product quality. Then they wanted a sub fee for PSN on PS4 lol. Piss off with that. I don't have to buy Amazon Prime or Soyny PSN to e-shop. I pirate games that are digital only anyways. Elden Ring for example is DRM-heavy and no disc that works offline. So I would only pirate it. It probably requires Steam which doesn't work on my old OS. Kadokawa needs to learn how to sell a product fairly. For example if you buy Konosuba anime discs you don't need an ethernet cable connected to anything? Correct? Why doesn't Elden Ring work in the same manner? Updates and patches can be optional on websites. Maybe a disc can't hold Elden Ring. Not my problem. They need to figure it out then. Maybe ship out small external hard drives with the game instead of CDs? Operating and manufacturing costs though right? Cut the corporate bloat who makes selfish decisions to screw us all. Also people need jobs to buy things. Digital media creates no extra jobs compared to CD manufacturing. While we don't get discs anymore they want you to buy the tacky $500 collector's edition with a plastic Estus Flask. They can make CDs or hard drive cartridges for F's sake if they can waste resources on plastic toys for children.

Just to clarify. The corporate bloat do not buy or even care about the media they are controlling. Manufacturing of games on a cartridge of some sorts would create more jobs. Jobs available to people who enjoy and support the fictional media of Kadokawa. Anime on DVDs is crazy expensive because of the corporate bloat taking so much for themselves leaving most people in poverty. If Soyny buys all of this they will lose even more money because many people can't afford to buy this media. There's probably an entire stream of Konosuba season 1 in one video on YT right now lol. The OST for sure in HD audio quality. At least Soyny will lose yet again. If they try to bring more woke Clown World to these creations Soyny will fail even quicker. The real collectors such as streamers will stop buying the physical media. Then start making anti-woke videos about how their shows are ruined and everyone should boycott it. I hope the creators of Overlord and Konosuba, etc. can get their series out of there.
