Streaming hardware is another perfect example of this dilemma. I recently signed up for HBO Max thinking it would run on my Roku, because why wouldn't it? Turns out that HBO can't have more than one paid service streaming to Roku devices at a time per Roku's TOS, so they're favoring customers that are still running the now-deprecated HBO service. It's insane.

I still dont get how they have HBO MAX and HBO Go. Why is there two and why do they get different stuff? That wolves show is only on Max. :eyeroll:

HBO Max subscription credentials can be used in the HBO channel on Roku devices, although you don't have access to the Max-exclusive content, just the HBO parts.
