Title: HBO Max Content Gone (including digital platforms)
Post by: chomper94 on July 16, 2022, 07:24:44 PM
Well there’s goes another streaming service starting to go bad.

For those who haven’t been keeping up with the news, basically HBO Max content such as Final Space, Chad, and Snowpiercer have left the service without any warning at all.  This also includes digital platforms as well.

This somehow includes content made for the service as well, like An American Pickle and Superintelligence (luckily there’s a DVD release in the US for those movies).

According to sources, this is apparently due to the Warner Bros/Discovery merger, which means some content has to leave services until further notice, but why remove them without warning?

I honestly hope this doesn’t continue, because the fact that some content got removed without any other way to access them is pretty scary, especially with Chad (a complete 2nd season was going to air on TBS, but ended up suddenly getting cancelled last minute, and left TBS on demand).

I dunno, what do you guys think about the situation?
