There are a couple titles that aren't available on VRV due to licensing issues. And those issues often get fixed (like One Piece). In most cases it seems to be old catalog stuff with old licensing deals.

I've been a VRV subscriber for about a year. And I haven't run into any problems with something I wanted to watch being unavailable. So I wouldn't call it a "sampler". It's say it's closer to 98%.

One of the downsides of VRV is the app. It's not as good as the individual apps. It has stupid "lists" and can be hard to find stuff. Usually I have to search for a particular title instead of browsing the entire catalog.

On the positive side, the app is available on almost all devices. So if you can't get Shudder on the PS4, this might be a good alternative.
