What disgusts me is that we essentially had HBO Max. Sky owned the rights to the content and a majority of Sky Originals were HBO and were included within every package. Now there's a mixture. It's an absolutely wool pulling over the eyes move and I think it'd borderline fraud. What the hell is the Sky Ultimate package getting you now if you have to pay an extra £10 per month for decent quality.
I think you are confusing Sky exclusives with Sky Originals. HBO content isn't Sky Originals, as HBO is owned by Warner Brothers Discovery, not Sky. Sky Originals is typically content either produced by Sky Studios are perhaps produced for Comcast's US streaming platform Peacock.
Yes, the majority of the Sky Atlantic Content was exclusive HBO shows, but WDB has always wanted to launch HBO Max in the UK, but had been unable to up til this point due to the long-term exclusivity deal with Sky, so as of today, Sky Atlantic is really no longer a premium Sky channel.
What is almost certainly isn't is fruad, its just the content owner taking the rights of their own programming back to point on their own streaming app.
As of launch today, I believe Sky is the only partner that WDB have that is bundling an HBO Max subscription into a package at no additional cost.
