HBO GO probably doesn't earn enough to warrant selling as a stand alone. They make more forcing people to order everything that comes with it despite losing out on those that say "no" and decide to pirate

I think the point is that more and more people are cutting cable and subscribing to other methods to watch 'TV.' If HBO cannot change their business model to take advantage of those 'cable cutters', 5 years from now their subscriber base will have stagnated, and piracy of HBO shows will be even higher than they are now.
