Who is making these idiotic decisions ?

Probably some highly paid executive.

Probably the same one trying to convince me that my "4K Digital streaming copies" are absolutely streaming at 4K and not 1080P.

Being bought by Fandango, and then wanting more brand recognition probably had something to do with it.

Vudu is a better name, but Fandango is a more recognizable name. I get it.

Still, they should just market Vudu more. Fandango at Home is a stupid name thought of by corporates. At least, it's not Fandango+ or whatever... which I'm sure was on their list.
