Netflix, Disney+, and Apple TV+ have also realized that adding more language tracks to their content is a _must_.
My family's viewership of Amazon Prime Video is severely limited because they refuse to add Spanish audio to their content. They have a few Spanish-language shows and movies but it's slim pickings.
HBO has no excuse on this, imho. I _know_ they have Spanish audio for every single one of their shows and movies - when we had cable TV we could switch language track in seconds, and this is not counting their Spanish-language channel that played in Spanish by default.
HBO's Spanish options are fantastic, I watch in a Spanish-speaking country and it's been a great service with good quality dubs and subtitles. We've run out of content though, I don't think we get all what the US gets.
I enjoy subtitles, my wife doesn't. I don't think I would enjoy subtitles when we're late-night binging until 2 or 3am.
Regardless, do Netflix, Apple and Disney have better engineers than HBO (and Amazon)? Do the latter two not care about offering Spanish (or non-English)? Do they have some contractual obligations to not offer the options online?
Turns out I don't care what the reason is. They don't offer extra language options, so I don't subscribe.
