Even HBO Knows Its Streaming Services Are Confusing as Hell
Just days before the official launch of its new streaming service, HBO seems to want to clear up any confusion about the difference between its services Go, Now, and soon-to-launch Max—and buddy, I’m not sure it’s working.

HBO Max will launch Wednesday as a wholly new streaming service that brings in all of HBO’s content, as well as content from WarnerMedia that includes DC, CNN, TNT, TBS, truTV, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Crunchyroll, Rooster Teeth, Looney Tunes, New Line, and classic films from TCM. Max will also have its own originals, as well as exclusives like the Snyder cut of Justice Leagueand the Friends reunion special. You’d think that a super-stuffed version of HBO’s existing product would cost more—but alas, it does not...
HBO Now costs $15 per month. HBO Max—despite having a lot more content—will also cost $15 per month (barring the promotional pricing right now that actually makes Max cheaper than Now). Even more confusing, existing Now customers will get access to Max at no extra cost.
