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.

Look at the piracy megathread on lemmy or r/piracy.

Even if you hadn't, they didn't grandfather in the lower price for you. In fact they don't even ask for your permission before charging you the increased price.

"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.

I'll pay less to not have that feature. Oh wait

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!
