If they keep cutting out letters the next iteration is probably going to be called "Ax."

I'm betting they're either gonna go with M or A, following twatter. Either way, we'll have another service to mock for having an atrociously bad name.

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

Cancelled Max

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.

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 9 months ago

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

[-] 4am@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

Max has never been HBO’s platform.
