It’s funny because CrunchyRoll was probably being honest with their numbers while Crackle was totally lying. No wonder Sony made the wrong call here.
Eh, Sony probably wouldn’t have hustled like CR did and grown it as well as it did. This was in 2013.

They easily could have suffocated it in the last 7 years.

Mixed feelings. On the one side, there's a similar brouhaha about Yahoo (?) being able to acquire Google back when. On the other, if it was bought at that time by Sony, it probably would not have gained the traction that it does nowadays.
