Now Introducing HBO Max Classic

[The Chris]

What was the difference between Go and Now?

Well Go was made for people who had HBO on cable. Now came out after and you could subscribe to it directly even if you didn’t have cable. I remember that’s how I got into Game of thrones, because a friend had me use his HBO go account, and a few years later I subscribed to HBO Now.

What was the difference between Go and Now?

Basically if you had HBO for cable you use HBO Go. HBO Now was the standalone service and it eventually became HBO Max.

I remember when Go crashed during the season finale of True Detective season 1 and everyone was freaking out. Good times.

Max UI has removed directors, writers, and producers credits for all their movies and replaced them with ‘creators’.


steamers have been minimizing the credits for years and this is the latest. It shouldn’t matter whether it’s in a theater, in a physical product like vhs/dvd/Blu-ray, or digital internet distribution and the unions and contracts have rules for these things and should demand uniformity.

I vaguely remember this even though I didn't use Go back then. Was that one of those situations where they dropped the new episodes on Go a week before they aired on cable?

 

[Kane52630]

They dropped the episodes the minute it airs on cable and their servers pretty much crashed.

Whoever buys WBD next will eventually roll their content into their app if they already have one.

Peacock Max is going to be a thing isn't it?

I really wish Apple bought WB at this point.

 

[Kane52630]

Well Apple is still rumored to buy Disney at some point.

Warner Bros. Discovery has corrected changes it made to director and writer credits in its rollout of Max after receiving harsh blowback from the Directors Guild and the Writers Guild. In a statement today, Max said: “We agree that the talent behind the content on Max deserve their work to be properly recognized. We will correct the credits, which were altered due to an oversight in the technical transition from HBO Max to Max and we apologize for this mistake.”

Now was for streaming-only subscribers, Go was for cable subscribers.

EDIT: missed that Kguillou already answered this one lol.

Zaslav's comments talking about scripted tv like it was a novelty fad that would go away in time immediately come to mind...

Absolutely hilarious if these idiots manage to bumble into causing (I think) the first ever triple-strike. Total unforced errors stemming from a complete lack of understanding or investment in their own product and how union contracts work.

 

[Boom]

These CEOs are beyond imbecilic when it comes to anything other than calculating their own bonuses.

Looking at these logos, I'm surprised they didn't go for Max Bros.

They might as well have gone with DiscoveryMax, or MaxDiscovery. Well both sound terrible but would've been better than "max".

 

[scarlet-witch]

They need a "not interested" voting system so I can get half of this TLC **** off my home screen.

The fact that they're shoving all the TLC garbage into everyone's "You May Like".....
