How many times have HBO changed their flagship product(s) names now? Seems like they do this every 6-12 months.

Perhaps they should change their CEO.

Yeah it’s moronic management of one of the most highly regarded brands

They do it to manipulate contracts and rights usage.
I don't remember the details, I just remember reading about it years ago.
Every time they change their name, they are able to change contracts, business arrangements and rights usage .... if their business model isn't working, they shut everything down, cancel things that they can, renegotiate contacts and restart everything in better terms for them ..... then once that doesn't work, then they change again.

Probably a good move but just proves that middle and upper management are useless. Just idiots playing each other in chess.

Do you think they can undo the move that removed a ton of animation from HBO Max? I never got around to watching Infinity Train when it was on there.

Joke's on them, I never stopped calling it HBO Max anyways. Or I called it "HBO... Max... Whatever it's called now."

When I heard The Pitt was on Max I assumed it was Cinemax’s streaming platform
