Jesus fucking Christ why is there no option anywhere to legally pay for a streaming option on a fucking desktop computer? Kindle, Apple TV, your fucking phone, but not on a PC. I'm literally trying to give them money to watch this fucking show but I'll have no choice other than torrenting it because I got rid of my fucking cable subscription since I never watch TV.

They offer it on virtually every other platform but a fucking desktop or laptop stream services. I don't get it.

I would pay for a la carte cable news and HBO but no

you are literally a desolate poorfag if you don't have a kindle, apple tv, or a smart phone

This seems so common fucking sense but of course that won't ever do this because cable companies don't have the capacity for common sense.

I have a smartphone, I don't want to watch it on my fucking smartphone I want to watch it on my ultrawide 4K monitor because I have no use for a fucking TV.

>watching tv on your phone

who the fuck does this
>>
>>68650886
hbogo doesn't allow streaming

so he's fucked if he wants to do live threads because he'd have to wait for the episode to finish airing to watch it.

what's the problem OP

>>68651006
What? I watch movies and new episodes shit through HBOGO all the time.
>>
>>68650925
>>68650947
you can watch it anywhere you fucking want you goddamn moron

It's called HBO Now. Not Go. HBO now is 15 bucks a month, unlimited streaming of all HBO content. It's how I've watched HBO series ever since it came out, it's provided me tons of entertainment without needing a shitty cable service.
>>
>>68651066
this, it's available on PC.
>>
>>68651130
BTW, just saw you posted a pic of Now in your OP. That description is misleading. You CAN watch it through a browser on your computer.
>>
>>68651006
yes it does.

it's ok man, now literally dozens of people know HBO is available conveniently through their browser, and a mere 18 hours before the new season of GoT starts!

you earned your salary tonight

Pretty great! Thanks for paying for my lifestyle you pathetic drone.

You are forgiven.

Phones are great for pretending to look busy and to fake having a purpose at any given time.

>>68650784
You actually can. It's misleading because the registration wants you to go through some third party (amazon, Google play, ISP, whatever).

I set it up the other day. The process I used:
-tell Google play you want it
-Let it download on your Android phone
-Set up an account, log in on the phone
-Take that account info to hbonow's website in a supported browser and plug in the info

Watched X-Men on my desktop last night.

It's a pain in the ass, but they're offering a month of free service so I figured I'd do that instead of pirating. I'll just cancel once we get to week 4 and everyone realizes the show is awful.

Apologies for all shilling of course :^)

Stop being an illiterate faggot and just Pirate it like the rest of us, you nigger

>>68650784
tell me about it

thing is i go a step further

i'm only willing to pay if the product i'm buying is superior to the pirated alternative

for pirated tv shows, i can have a 1080p file on my pc synched to my tablet which has no internet outside of wifi, which won't stop working if my internet drops

when the official version doesn't make me jump through hoops and is as good as this, i'll start giving them money

like with steam - i stopped pirating games once i could buy things and have them on my account instead of waiting for a fucking dvd in the post
>>
>>68651101
As they're broadcast?
I don't think so.
Uusally they're accessable only after the episode is broadcast.
>>
>>68653101

This is my issue at well. People still don't get that the reason you buy is because it's more convenient than pirating. Offer a better service and no one will complain.

But, more often than not, pirating is just better.

Other than getting a blu-ray for the extras since I can't bother to store full blu-rays on my PC, I would never buy a movie online. There's literally no benefit to it over pirating, none whatsoever. These faggots don't even offer the extras like wtf.
>>
>>68653236
yeah exactly

if i could buy a movie for a reasonable price, and have it added to a digital film library like steam, i would buy a lot more

it would stop me being worried about the forced subs being fucked up (like spanish-speaking bad guys in an english-speaking film, but then having those bits be subbed in french) when i'm hosting movie night

was particularly shitty for snowpiercer where there's like 2 lines of foreign dialogue (where you think you're not meant to understand it), and then right before the end there's a 2 minute speech in korean
>>
Here we have HBO Nordic

Which is a completely different applications and works like shit

Need apple tv because other platforms are garbage
>>
>>68653928

Steam actually added movies lately but I have no idea how that's gonna work. I would love if it if you could just switch the dubs/subs on the fly.

I don't know this was marketing or not, but bravo
