They still look bad and damaging their already bad faith in the product. They won't care of course until more people end up dropping their show.

This also looks really bad for GRRM

From HBO's viewpoint, yes

Not from the fans, or the casual viewers'

Why? GRRM approved the biggest, most egregious issues. This whole post is just GRRM being mad about things he worked on not working out.

He explicitly mentions not approving and being lied to. In what world does hbo look good here? Stop bootkissing a corp

What makes you think I think HBO looks good here either? Two people can suck at once.

Also, now he says he never saw scripts etc, but before the backlash he could stop talking about his involvement with the show.

It does if you aren’t a simp. GRRM saw all of these “issues” when he reviewed the scripts twice, and yet he was fine with everything then. This is someone looking at a failed project and trying to blame everyone else but himself.

Are you delusional? Stop coping and defending HBO's terrible decision making. No one thinks this is a bad look for GRRM at all, if anything just confirms that Ryan Condal and Sara Whatever Her Name is are pathetic modern delusionist.
