Absolutely Devastating and quite frankly idiotic not working out a deal with the two largest streaming platforms pic.twitter.com/qY4ECGAucv
So @HBO convinces me to cancel HBO Now through @hulu for $14.99 a few weeks ago and subscribe to @hbomax separately for $11.99 but then one hour before going live they tell me that @Roku is not on the supported streaming device list? Ridiculous. pic.twitter.com/fMaddbmv26

They're really going to launch this massive HBO Max app tomorrow without the ability to watch it on Roku or Amazon Fire products. Wow. Was expecting an 11th hour deal to get done.

prevnextSo is @hbomax going to be on Roku or not? Shouldn't all this shit be figured out BEFORE a launch?

We’ve known HBO Max was coming for like a year, so how do they not already have deals in place to have the app on Roku and Amazon Fire Stick, arguably the two places where people watch the most?

Why would it not be on Roku? That’s absurd.

prevnextI get HBO Max for free because I have AT&T Internet 1000...but I have a Roku TV. Yay. Oh well. I figured out how to cast it to the TV from my laptop browser, but how ridiculous.

Hmm, apparently HBO Max won't be on Roku, so I maybe did that discounted preorder for literally no reason? I'm never going to be the person who watches TV on my laptop. If I'm on a computer I feel like I'm working, I just want to watch TV on my TV.

prevGrrr, I didn’t realize HBO Max and Roku hadn’t made a deal yet. I wouldn’t have signed up for HBO Max already if I knew that.
