I don't think HBO is launching in the UK just yet due to the Sky deal, but after 2025, things may change.

I suspect the reason they’ve not done this before is that they’ve taken their time devising a way of determining who’s using their multiple logins legitimately and who’s sharing them round their mates. If they’re ready for public trials in small markets it’ll go global soon enough.
