So steam, basically? Less likely that they'll be shutting down anytime soon, but still.

Edit: people downvoting don't seem to understand how steam works

Not a good comparison. With Steam, you download the games to your computer. If Valve ever went out of business, they could unDRM the games, or you could crack them.

Either way, you download the games onto your computer. That's not the case with Funimation.

That's why it's better to buy from gog

Why? You also buy licenses from GOG, despite their and their shills' best efforts to make you believe otherwise.

It's completely DRM free. You download the game and that's it, you can run it from your computer forever

Whether its "allowed" or not, I assume you I own every file from my steam library.
