I'm not to to thrilled with this if I'm understanding things.

1)If they are combined instead of bundled,should we expect a giant price increase?

I got to be honest,there is nothing I', really interested in from Discovery Plus so a big price increase for a product I don't even want is irksome.

2)I get HBO Max through my Xfinity cable service since I have HBO.Will this effect that?

I would much rather have the option of bundling like Disney Plus & Hulu where if I don't want Hulu,I'm not being forced to get it and pay for it or in my specific case,screws up the way I receive HBO MAX via Xfinity.

I do get their side though from a business angle.
