I can't find the article, but apparently one of the stated goals in HBOMax dropping Westworld and The Nevers (among others) is so they don't have to pay royalties to the actors in perpetuity.   

What fucking dickbags.

Apparently WBD wants to change the name of HBO Max to just Max. 

Could be mistaken but it's not a name change. They want to create a new unified merging HBO Max & Discovery Plus. Keep in mind all decisions are made by greed in Hollywood. So while HBO Max has excellent brand recognition, if there is no HBO Max anymore then no can gt it for free. You can bet your ass the new MAX won't come free with an HBO subscription. You can bet your ass the new MAX won't be free to AT&T / DirecTV customers for however many months.

It's strictly semantics to make people pay more for the same exact thing. Betting that MAX will not have live HBO airings or simultaneous on demand. Rolling back the clock, because money. You want to watch current HBO shows? Buy HBO. You want to watch previous HBO shows? Pay for MAX.
