Quality will go down for all 3 and now they'll cancel even more shows before they complete.
Good to see the free market in action. I'm sure this merge will be good for consumers, encourage innovation, and ensure that the barriers to entry are not set too high.
..what ever happened to bards?..
Curious to see whether they combine HBO and Netflix. In the article netflix answers in an ambiguous way.
I bet they are trying to calculate whether this will bring in less money if they combine them, because they can't just jack up the price of netflix subscription to double immediately after the merging of the two platforms. Many have both Netflix and HBO subscription so it might actually reduce the revenue.
I'm sure they'll find a way to make it worse and more expensive than before. They never fail to do so. Line must go up.
Seventy-two BILLYUN dollars!!
Can’t wait to hear what John Oliver has to say about this
Aw man, HBO was the only streaming service I kind of liked.
Was it mainly for Studio Ghibli movies? Yes.
Can’t wait for the price hikes to continue.
Well, at least HBO content might become accessible through a decent UI and keep the same name for more than six months.
I just can’t wait to read about the creative ways in which they screw up the name next. “Netflix presents Max HBO Cinemas”.
Bn? Bananas? I can pay 75 bananas for Warner.
It's one Warner Brothers, what could it cost, ten bananas?
And a Warner sister. Don’t forget Dot!
