THE HOME OF THE TOP TOON STARS
There are only so many names they can come up with. HBO Discovery? WBD? Discovery Max? HBO+?
So basically, Warner Bros. Discovery is doing what Disney has been doing recently when they launched Star as an overseas version of Hulu barring third party content and ads as well as what Paramount is planning to do in some European countries with Comcast by launching Sky Showtime instead of both Paramount+ and Peacock. Well, I'm not really sure about this decision if I'm being honest.Warner Bros. Discovery has halted the global expansion of HBO Max, they're now prioritising combining HBO Max's and Discovery+'s content libraries into a new unnamed service. HBO Max was due to launch in France in 2023, but it will have the combined service instead.

I sometimes wish this wasn't so much a 50/50% merger, but there's so much "company" egos at play; I mean, Warner Bros as the name of the company alone would have sufficedMost names are weird to say. I think even they try to figure it out which one to use. Warner Bros Discovery+ would make the most sense right now. At least I think so,
I think Warner max is good. Having the “bros” in there just makes it harder to say. But full name wbd+… yeah not so good.I sometimes wish this wasn't so much a 50/50% merger, but there's so much "company" egos at play; I mean, Warner Bros as the name of the company alone would have sufficed
WBD+ sounds quite ridiculous
Warner Bros Max alone would be better, without Discovery
I think the “max“ name has cemented it’s place and is recognizable, so I think discovery should keep it.I actually changed my mind. Warner Discovery seems a lot better. Gives both acknowledgment.
