We do need competition though because we can't have Sony and their Crunchyroll venture eat up everything (and Japanese producers don't want that either). It's a paradox but it's gonna require that Plaion beef up Anime Limited's ops and have KSM Anime (Germany) and Anime Factory (Italy) be better-integrated with Anime Limited, plus get some more titles so they can have enough to justify doing a streaming service.
I mean, don't get me wrong, sure, I do agree with you. The reason a lot of us took issue with this is because Embracer Group is not particular a good... company. Almost none of them are, don't get me wrong, but they literally protected one of their executives after they went on a known website that had more-than-problematic people and there was distribution of under-age-you-know-what on there, and all they could say is an "I'm sorry, we didn't realize", when the site was only known to have extremists that effetely left 4chan. You'd have to intentionally seek out that website.
Anyway, I'd rather just not have major businesses not buy out companies and for anime companies to operate with minimal obstruction of a major conglomerate overseeing everything. Even if Deep Silver/Embrcer Group wasn't a bad place, I'd still feel this way.
