Skydance’s Discovery+ prices increase by up to 20 percent
The higher prices are said to be unrelated to the Skydance merger.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on Discovery+ getting more expensive soon after the Skydance merger, but they frame the timing differently. Ars Technica says the prices increase by up to 20 percent and notes that the higher prices are said to be unrelated to the merger. Engadget uses a more pointed headline about the price bump coming just a week after the merger, and its extract adds a sarcastic aside that appears only in Engadget’s coverage.
