Disney+ launched this month, and soon, HBO Max will enter the streaming race.

Between Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max, who will win the streaming wars?

Netflix isn't going anywhere unless they make some ironic Blockbuster level mistakes. They're all going to co-exist but if I had to guess which will drop first I'd say Disney+.

Whoever wins... we lose.

im rooting for piracy

BitTorrent

I will win

My guess for HBO Max is that the vast majority of their subscribers will be people who already had HBO in the first place.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Eventually, people will come up with streaming packages that bundle them all together to varying degrees and varying combinations. I should make a movie about it starring Matthew Broderick and Jim Carrey. I’ll call it “The Streaming Guy.”

^So, the a-la-carte cable system that everybody has begged for since the 90s?

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

The topic didn't specify film, though that's clearly what the topic is about, but I do wonder when or if Nintendo will have a proper service to compete with Sony & Microsoft. Maybe the Switch's successor?

Nothing came out of it, but "GamePass on Switch" WAS one of the prominent rumors coming into E3 this year.

I cannot possibly see Nintendo being that savvy. Either they won't do it at all, or they'll attempt to do it with a "Nintendo-like Solution" that makes it unusable.

^ True, they are very predictable sometimes lol

I mean, it is in the movies forum.

One could technically argue something for the "animation" bit fitting, especially for certain genres--FMV games certainly blur the line, haha.

streaming service exclusively for movie tie-in games

I have ALWAYS wanted to see the backstory for Garfield Kart.

What's happening to HBO GO? Isn't there something called HBO NOW also? Now they're making something called HBO MAX?

GO
NOW
MAX

What did max ever do to u guys?

^ HBO GO is what you get through your standard cable subscription to HBO. HBO NOW is the a la carte streaming service that you don't need a cable subscription for. They're essentially the same otherwise.
