    How many times have HBO changed their flagship product(s) names now? Seems like they do this every 6-12 months.

      They do it to manipulate contracts and rights usage.

      I don’t remember the details, I just remember reading about it years ago.

      Every time they change their name, they are able to change contracts, business arrangements and rights usage … if their business model isn’t working, they shut everything down, cancel things that they can, renegotiate contacts and restart everything in better terms for them … then once that doesn’t work, then they change again.

    Do you think they can undo the move that removed a ton of animation from HBO Max? I never got around to watching Infinity Train when it was on there.
