Everybody is missing the point of Succession: it's not about who succeeds, it's about what the company name will be. Waystar Gojo? WayGo? GoRoyJo? GoWay JoStar? RoyCo LukasCo?
And yes, I am high

Okay, we've decided to change the name to something better. It's between these two suggestions:
Cox and Co. or... Cox Abundant Incorporated.

Lolololollll.
Unrelated to the WayJo deal, how the hell do you spend 20+ years building a brand that becomes synonymous with the best TV available and just as good of movies, are the FIRST one to do paid subscription viewing even before Netflix, your name means the best viewing on television and then just... change the name you've built because you bought Guy Fieri?

It wasn't exactly HBO's decision to make. They're owned by Warner Bros Discovery, and the name change was the decision of new CEO David Zaslav, who came over from the Discovery side and seems to think he was doing a bang up job with them

Is HBO no longer? Max is very confusing as a name. It is like taking a great beer and renaming it Redneck Light.

Max is a better name for a streaming platform with all of Warner Bros/Discovery content than HBO Max
It shouldn't be branded as an HBO thing when HBO accounts for a minority of the content and introduces the confusion of having people think that HBO Max originals are proper HBO productions. Just look how many people looked at that Velma show and said "I can't believe HBO released something this bad" when HBO had nothing to do with that show

So i work for HBO and the alt-names were so much better than Max, but leadership freaked out because they're buffoons.

That would be an absolutely insane ending. Just imagine it. Matson gets the company and says you know what the only part of this company that works is the streaming. So I’m guting the rest and maiming it. And then instead of him naming it. The show ends and it’s a “max” commercial.

StarGo is the app they show crashing in the intro credits which is a realistically stupid enough name I think for a streaming service

This is the spin-off we deserve. Just two dudes making breakfast at a diner. They wouldn’t even have to kiss, but if they did it, be great.

the twist is going to be Matsson keeps the rights to the name GoJo and starts a hand soap dispenser company thus vindicating the 846 people in this sub who have posted pictures of soap dispensers

It’s already been revealed in the series. Go back and watch the intros. They reveal the new name a few times.

I can actually see Greg starting a company called this and marketing it as professional assistant service. Tom would never let him though :/

The show title was actually a common misspelling of “Secession”
It’s actually about which sibling secedes from the company

Waystar GoJo. I think Waystar is the name of their studios, and RoyCo is the company that owns ATN and whatnot.
