I have no idea what nonsense you're talking about. The Archive works well for titles that Warner believes wouldn't sell well in a wider release. Instead of printing up tens of thousands of Blu-rays that get unsold at retailers, and are sent back to them, they print up a smaller amount, and sell them directly and through select online retailers. This method is much safer, and can make both them, and us happy. We get the movies/shows we want, they don't lose money on them.

Now something like the Platinum collection seems less likely to become an Archive release because a lot of money goes into restoring these, and it'd be unlikely that they'd recoup that with the select market reach of the Archive program.
