Furthermore, the name used by the platform itself is not the only change that will occur. The top managers right now have also added changes to the content, subscriptions and prices. In short, in many ways we could say that we are facing a new platform on which we can continue using our previous user account.
Obviously, those responsible for the video streaming platform sell it to us as an evolution with respect to the old one. However, not everything is as pretty as they make it out to be, something that has already been rumored in recent weeks. Hence precisely that today, May 21, 2024, once the change to Max has occurred, many have decided cancel your accountas is my case.
There are several reasons why I have decided to make this decision and I will tell you about them below. First of all, we must keep in mind one of the questions that has been raised the most among many users around the world. Specifically, we mean that the initial subscription offer at half price forever when we subscribe to HBO Max at its launch, it keeps. Well, it remains the same, but it is not exactly the same.
Max changes that make me close my account
Although the company responsible for streaming service He assures that there are all advantages with the change, in reality this is not the case. Hence many, at this moment, have made the decision to cancel the subscription that they had active for months. These are some of the main reasons for this.
The half price offer now looks worse. As we have told you before, the initial launch offer remains the same. This means that we pay half the price for what is now called the Old Standard subscription. Although the price is the same, now the maximum quality of the content in this case is Full HD, instead of 4K as to date.
The number of simultaneous views also drops. With this offer, up to three devices could be viewed simultaneously on HBO Max. Now, with the aforementioned Old Standard subscription, this number is reduced to two.
Some movies and series have disappeared. Although the current managers of the Max platform do not stop talking about the arrival of new streaming content, some movies and series available until now have also disappeared.
New content has an additional cost. Perhaps for many users, one of the biggest attractions of the new Max platform is the commitment to live sports content. However, something that we must keep in mind is that in order to enjoy them, from here we will have to pay for what are called accessories. The additional cost is 5 euros per month.
