Cancelled Max

They're pulling a Coke and they're going to rebrand as HBO next year and everyone will cheer the brilliant move.

I like the joke, but HBO Go doesn't belong with those other 3. HBO Go was an included streaming companion to a cable subscription. There was no way to get HBO Go without also subscribing to cable. HBO NOW was the first standalone streaming service, then renamed to HBO MAX, then renamed to Max.

If you need something legit to replace HBO go for the joke you could use HBO Nordic, which WAS a standalone streaming service with the HBO content that predates HBO Now. Technically HBO Nordic was only available as a European product, but it was accessible in the USA via VPN.

Max has never been HBO’s platform.

m3 max by hbo

It's really stupid that they named their streaming platform for one of their competitors. When I was subscribing I'd see Max and wonder when we subscribed for Cinemax.

[–] CalicoJack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

They own Cinemax. It's a subsidiary, not a competitor.

[–] DavidGarcia@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

who is Max and why should he go now? Perhaps some coworker they hate?

Next will be just "M" to follow Twitter.
