Eurosport discontinuing streaming (self.bicycling)

Eurosport started sending e-mails that they are discontinuing streaming (premium) service in favor of HBO MAX. Which is much, like 3x more expensive if you happen to watch only bicycling or some other sports and you don't care about other stuff. Even more odd is that they were sending e-mails like a couple of weeks ago that they were just increasing the price. So, that's it for me watching bicycling, I guess. It's been nice while it lasted, then corporate greed took over.

Dear Customer,

We regret to inform you that the Eurosport Premium subscription service will be discontinued on July 22. If your subscription is set to auto-renew before July 22, you will not be billed again and you can continue to enjoy the Eurosport Premium subscription service until it is discontinued. Otherwise, after the service has closed, you will receive a refund for the unused time remaining on your subscription. Refunds will be made to the payment method that you used to purchase your subscription.

You can continue to enjoy our free news articles and content on the Eurosport website and app.

The good news is that Max is the new streaming home for Eurosport! Max is where everything you love on discovery+ meets the iconic series and must-see movies of HBO Max, plus an unmissable live Sports add-on where you can continue to access Eurosport content. As a gesture of our appreciation and goodwill for any inconvenience caused by the closure of the Eurosport Premium subscription service, we would like to offer you a discounted subscription to Max.

Redeem voucher ************ at https://auth.max.com/redeem by 30 September 2024 for a monthly subscription to the Max Standard (Standardni) plan at €3.99/month - 50% off the regular monthly price of the Standard (Standardni) plan - and if you want to continue to access Eurosport content, add Sports at the regular price of €3/month. Once redeemed, you can enjoy this special offer until the end of the year. On your January 2025 renewal date your subscription will automatically renew each month at the then-current monthly price of the Standard (Standardni) plan (now €7.99/month), plus the price of the Sports add-on if applicable, unless cancelled prior to renewal. *
