It was taken off like a year ago, maybe longer. The last season bombed so they took the whole thing down to avoid paying residuals. Think it was even before the merger.
Which just highlights how stupid the system is. Pay residuals, but pay them based on amount of viewing hours. If no one watches a show, there’s still no reason to remove it.
Currently an expensive show no one watches can just bleed money.
You know I heard S2 was bad, so I didn’t watch it when it came out but planned on eventually giving it a chance, but this thread and specifically this post just convinced me to never watch it and just keep the memory of Westworld being good in my head lol.
I mean, comparatively season 2 is worse than the first one but not a massive shitshow. Season 3 though, oh fucking boy. I’d say maybe watch the second season just for some sort of closure, but then definitely stop!
WB Discovery is still getting their cut from Westworld, Raised by Wolves, and a dozen or so others by licensing it out to The Roku Channel streaming service of all things. So those actors went from getting scraps from HBO Max to probably next to nothing from Roku. I don’t know if that’s worse than having the content completely removed or not considering Roku is like Pluto TV and airs things more like cable.
Do you have a source other than…like…fuckin tiktok?

Duly noted, ty.
Gotta love Hollywood accounting.

I feel like GoT should be taken down for the same reason then. But then I realize that maybe the last two seasons were still successful on some level.

I just verified on the Max app
Wonder if Crave still has it in Canada.
Edit: It’s still there for me.
My wife ask me same thing. At least here in my country I couldn’t find it.
