HBO Max Hiking Prices & Cracking Down on Password Sharing

[alexj-12]

Looks like HBO Max is gonna cost more soon. CEO David Zaslav says it’s “underpriced,” and they’re also planning to go after password sharing. With stuff like The Last of Us and Peacemaker, they’re clearly trying to keep up in the streaming wars.

Yeah, not surprised. Every streaming service is hiking prices now, and HBO Max knows it’s got heavy-hitters like The Last of Us and Peacemaker to lean on. Cracking down on password sharing is definitely their Netflix move. The risk is people getting fed up and jumping ship though.

I believe prices will stabilize when the buyout goes through, definitely cheaper if Netflix succeeds as opposed to Paramount. As for password sharing, I actually blame the exorbitant pricing of streaming platforms for little quality, forcing people to jump from one platform to another looking for quality content

I hope you're right. The price hikes have definitely gotten out of control and it's not even something I've noticed with streaming services like Netflix or Amazon, Spotify has gone crazy with their price hikes as well. It definitely feels like a case of simply charging more because you can and you know people will just deal with it unfortunately
