I feel sorry for anyone who put money into this app. The fact that they've outright said they can't guarantee you can access your content after a certain date is exactly why digital "ownership" is a scam.

Seeing that Embracer Group is now owner of Dark Horse doesn't give me much confidence in their future, which is a shame, Dark Horse is responsible for localizing some iconic manga over the years.

Exactly. "In the same FAQ, Dark Horse states that, technically, users do not own the comics in their bookshelves." This is just proof of the giant FU the digital service industry truly is.

I only buy Dark Horse for physical.
