I think Game of Thrones is a great example as to why I dont get invested in still being worked on media. Like, if better call Saul had a GOT tier ending I think I actually would've exploded. It's why I haven't started playing Deltarune yet, even if I'm pretty sure it'll be good.

I mean, at least the people who watched the GOT TV show got an ending. I can't imagine what it's like for fans of the books

As a fan of the books, the answer is to make peace with Winds of Winter never coming out and enjoy ASOIAF for what it is 🫠

The true answer is to write Winds of Winter (Fanfic time)

I believe there IS at least one fan project to write TWoW lol, haven't read it yet. The thing is that (according to GRRM) TWoW will be when we finally learn what the deal is with The Others and learn more about Valyria than we ever have before. So that alone isn't an easy task. The way the show did this was extremely underwhelming and by-the-numbers.
If it were my version I'd definitely make it so that the Targs sold out Valyria to the Faceless Men because they grew to abhor slavery and wanted to be big fish in a little pond in Westeros. I think it's basically canon already.

That's why I prefer tv shows with only one season, where the entire story line is being completed in one season so later seasons can't ruin it. And even if the ending does suck, at least you didn't get invested in the show for years.

Infinity Train taught me this lesson. On top of going of the rails it can also just get canned. No thanks.

I'm still going to read Sword Art Online because I want to have stuff to talk about with my friend, but otherwise, yeah.

The first few seasons of GoT were good. I just memory holed the last 2 seasons. I don't regret the investment even if it was a let down.

This is why I don't buy Steam games that are still in Early Access.

[–] cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

Early Access is just you paying a company to work as their beta tester. I would call it unpaid labor except it's even worse because they take money from you. It is the biggest scam in gaming today.

[–] pyromaiden@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 13 hours ago

companies would rather release broken, buggy messes or rob their players than pay actual beta testers smh
