discussion RIP HBO Max: Warner Bros. Discovery debuts new streaming service "Max"

[Hector]

I presume ultimate ad-free takes out all of the ads for other shows before a show of your choice starts. 

[Hurem]

The price range ain't it.

 

Back to pirating we go.

[May]

OMG that price

 

surely no one is going to pay 15 bucks for a service that still gives you ads?

[ALA]

Idiotic to take out HBO out of the title...  how on earth is that gonna help the brand

[Schhh]

Jodie Foster's True Detective looked much better than Kate's show.

[Broken]

The price wtf .

It sounds like the $15 tier is ad-free and the $20 tier will just give you 4k streams, more concurrent devices, and more downloads.

They should probably work to clarify this on this during the marketing campaign however

I get hbo max though my cable subscription so I hope that will remain

[Arcadius]

I’m just mad they changed the color to blue, the purple made it stand out. 

[khalyan]

I get my HBO Max thru my phone plan, will that still stay?  I have absolutely no need to pay for it now that Legendary is gone 

[Aelita]

y'all know what to do when they get crazy like that 

[ShouldersSideways]

I get why they're changing the name because something like Chip and Joanna Gaines being perceived as part of the HBO brand is so  

 

But this has been a mess

Came to say this as well... So many other streaming services use blue already. 

 

They truly destroyed their entire branding today between this and removing HBO from the name. 

[Dula Peep]

I like how they incorporated the HBO 'O' into the 'a' 

 

they need to bring back the purple though, the blue matches Paramount+ and Disney+ too much

There's only 1 tier with ads. The other two tiers dont have ads. The difference between Reg/Ultimate is the highest tier has 4k/Atmos and lets you have 4 video streams (like netflix)

[Drowned8World]

i hate the typography. The old was so good 

[RunBoyRun]

I get HBO max through Hulu. Will that stay? Ugh...

[kandicha]

I've been considering getting it but idk about that price for ad-free 

[XAMJ]

I think the plan is to name it MAX so when Discovery sells Warner Bros  to Universal, they can do something with Peacock/HBO.

[znake]

 i love it and i hate it at the same time

[Gorjesspazze9]

This is kinda a dumb way to try and get new subs. It’s would be like if Disney+ made a secondary service just called Plus🤣 HBO is like the premier Name for Television, especially adults. Also thier new projects. And Price ranges ain’t helping. And seems like the internet backlash and stocks falling prove it
