The thought is that users won\u2019t want to pay substantially higher prices.<\/p>\n<p>In January, HBO Max raised its prices for the first time ever, now costing users <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=14d03d76e0a6285761e58439513dfd19&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hbomax.com%2Fsubscribe%2Fplan-picker&amp;cuid=xid:{xid}&amp;___trxnet=vg\">$16 per month<\/a>. For comparison, Discovery+ is $5 per month with ads or $7 without. Combining the two would have likely delivered one streaming service that could cost upwards of $20 per month, which doesn\u2019t sound too appealing.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, it looks like we\u2019ll get an all-new streaming service similar to HBO Max, which could be called \u201cMax\u201d that\u2019ll offer all your typical HBO content along with most Discovery+ content. Essentially, the merge is still happening, but the company will continue offering Discovery+ as an affordable stand-alone option.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-xbvutc-Paragraph e3t0jlg0\" data-type=\"paragraph\">Per the <em>WSJ<\/em> report, Warner Bro Discovery wants to bolster its leading streaming service without cannibalizing the more than 20 million users that actively enjoy Discovery+. The insiders also mention a new completely free ad-supported platform that could offer a little from both, but we\u2019ll have to wait and see.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-xbvutc-Paragraph e3t0jlg0\" data-type=\"paragraph\">Either way, it sounds like HBO Max is changing at some point. We\u2019re just not sure how it\u2019ll look when that time comes. I think the company should keep both yet offer a bundle discount similar to what\u2019s available with Disney+, ESPN, and Hulu.<\/p>\n<p data-type=\"paragraph\"><small>via <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2023\/02\/warner-bros-discovery-abandons-plan-to-merge-hbo-max-discovery-plus-streaming-1235253134\/\">Deadline<\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
