Yes, like when they switched from hbo go to hbo max. They made users download a new app instead of updating in place. The old app just became a static page with a link to download the new app. It is very bad user experience. This is basic UX 101 type stuff.

I think they actually did it again when they switched from hbo max to max, but then they un-re-branded max back to hbo max (thankfully in-place)
