What is the point of these aritificial tiers and gating 4k? The marginal cost to go from 1080p to 4k is insignificant unless there are underlying licensing deals hbo can't get out of.
- nickthegreek 3y agoAgreed. 4k and Atmos is why I had Max. I immediately canceled when I got this email. No reason it couldn’t have been kept for legacy accounts.
- orev 3y agoIt’s really not that hard to follow from a product perspective. 4K is better, therefore it has more value that people would be willing to pay for. The price of things (especially virtual goods) rarely has any relation to “marginal cost” to produce or distribute it. It only matters what people are willing to pay.

- icegreentea2 3y agoI mean you answered it yourself. They have a product that is basically marginally free to produce, but that customers do seem to assign a marginal value to. Of course you'd try to charge for it.
