Thing is, what would be the numbers behind that? Would HBO make more money if they sold each episode separately to everyone all around the globe than it does now (= licensing the series to individual networks in every country)?
Because, an extra cost, for example, would be the subtitling. Right now it's done either from the networks that HBO sells the show rights to or from the torrent scene. HBO would have to hire people to do this job per episode, per show, etc.
