在2026年7月，Crunchyroll宣布對其線上商店進行了一項具爭議性的調整，將其從開放市場轉型為會員專屬平台。
In July 2026, Crunchyroll announced a controversial change to its online store, shifting from an open marketplace to a members-only platform.
自2026年8月起，僅有訂閱「Mega Fan」或「Ultimate Fan」方案的用戶能夠購買商品。
Starting in August 2026, only users with 'Mega Fan' or 'Ultimate Fan' subscriptions will be able to purchase merchandise.
入門級的「Fan」訂閱用戶仍可瀏覽商品，但將失去購買權限，而未訂閱用戶則完全被禁止進入商店。
Entry-level 'Fan' subscribers will still be able to browse, but they lose the ability to buy items, while non-subscribers are barred from the store entirely.
Crunchyroll將此稱為轉向「經策劃的、展會風格」購物體驗的舉措，著重於獨家合作與限量發行。
Crunchyroll describes this as a shift toward a 'curated, convention-style' shopping experience, focusing on exclusive collaborations and limited releases.
許多粉絲批評此舉是赤裸裸的「付費牆」，強迫用戶僅為獲得購物特權而支付月費。
Many fans criticize the move as a blatant 'paywall,' forcing users to pay monthly fees just for the privilege of shopping.
批評者也指出母公司Sony的影響，並提到這是將訂閱制生態系統置於開放存取權之上的廣泛趨勢。
Critics also point to parent company Sony’s influence, noting a broader trend of prioritizing subscription-based ecosystems over open access.
此項決定是在粉絲對商店管理累積多年不滿後做出的，特別是在2022年收購Right Stuf之後，許多收藏家認為此舉導致了庫存質量與多樣性的下降。
This decision comes after years of fan frustration regarding store management, particularly following the 2022 acquisition of Right Stuf, which many collectors feel led to a decline in inventory quality and variety.
