HBO Go and HBO Now were different products though

Akshually, they were different front ends accessing essentially the same library of content. Go was included with your cable subscription, and Now was a streaming license you could purchase separately. They weren't really different products, just different payment options.

Eh, with that logic you could argue that all music streaming services are the same product with different front ends. Which, in a way, is kinda true...

Go existed for a few years before Now was released, and they were separate websites/apps. I'd say they qualify as different products. I would be interested to know if they shared any backend tech though. Would probably save a pretty penny if they shared a CDN.

If all music streaming services were owned by HBO then yeah, I would argue that.
