Crunchyroll is raising prices again (Fan Tier now $9.99/m, Mega Fan $13.99/m, Ultimate Fan $17.99/m)

However, with the changes, Crunchyroll is actually adding a perk to the Fan Tier, its most affordable option. With the Fan Tier, you’ll now able to download content to watch offline on one device, a perk that was previously available starting with the Mega Fan tier.

"At least" the lower sub gains a feature with the increased cost, and is cheaper than the old Mega Fan tha was needed for offline downloads.

It's almost like all the mergers and buy-outs were designed to capture the market and squeeze them for every penny! Also, there are fewer shows available now than ever before.
Every other Crunchyroll link goes to a dead show you can't watch. Thanks, Sony!

I feel kind of dumb for taking a discount deal for a year’s subscription. The service just keeps getting worse. Missing thumbnails and episode titles, incorrectly placed skip buttons, some shitty subs, etc. I was already planning to cancel when the year is up and now they think they can charge even more for a worse service?
