I know I want this over but it's fun to debate. It's fun to see things 5 days ago when it was Steve, the chilled out poster guy to Steve, the biggest asshole who must die in this forum. 
Arcon: What are you even talking about?!? Milk the customers? Do you know how much Gundam Licenses go for now? 7 figures easy. They should sell 7 episodes at $5 a disc. Then the money would be rolling in. *rolls eyes* I'm not a fanatic, it seems you are with the way you immediately want me dead.
mikeymikemike: How much of a noob can you be? Have you been watching anime for 5 days now or has it been a week yet? Sorry to rain on your parade, but you have no reason to post Industry logic because you don't have any. I'm not sure if you are a college student but you would be a terrible business major. Robert Woodhead of Animeigo is running a dead business. It's gone under twice. Do you know their Anime releases are breaking even and that's about it. The Samurai Cinema is what keeps it a float. HK DVD companies aren't business, they are not on the same playing field. Good God, is it that hard to see?
JJ: I hate corporate crime just as much as the next person. Why do I have to "bitch" about that? In fact I am merely explaining things. Enron was a huge corporation, Animeigo is run from a small building. Animeigo plays by the rules, Enron didn't. They are not similar at all. Saying I should bitch about that topic is as random as saying I should bitch about why my shoelaces are white and not blue. Damn you $20 Bob's Store shoes. :eek:
evilomar: You got screwed. I never payed more than $28.95 for a Maison Ikkoku tape, where did you buy from? Bubble Gum Crisis game out with a $24.95 MSRP, who sold it to you for that price? Streamline Pictures had nothing to do with either.
Finally, how many people have heard of US Renditions or LA Hero? They were two early anime companies that released some classic series. Nobody bought them and they went under. The Maison Ikkoku VHS released stopped when they were selling 500 copies for each volume. I'm sorry I can't agree with people. It would make everything a tad easier, no? I'm not calling myself a "true" anime fan but I spend money on what I love (and it goes to places that mean something). I laugh at people and their silly responses because it's honestly a big joke with justifications. If you like your car, you wouldn't put crappy parts in it. You put quality parts not things that were jacked off the street. Likewise, if you were selling anime for a living as an anime company. I would love to see how many of you would then condone rips of your releases? Thought so.
In short, I'm done. This quite possibly is my longest post. Who knows? I'm not a little bitch who is leaving. Nobody will listen to me, instead I get half-assed babble with no logic to it (Illusions, *laughs*). Say what you want, call me what you want. I guess I'm done here.
Peace,
Steve
