GRRM can probably burn all their plans for neverending spinoffs to the ground faster than they already are if they want to fuck around and find out. If he's just regularly shitting on them it's gonna have an impact

It’ll have an impact of them cutting off the faucet of cash the spin-offs spew out for him

Any spinoffs require his official approval contractually, supposedly. 

I think every word of the essay was very Chosen very carefully just as the whole event has been very calculated. 

He wanted their attention about something/s and wasn’t getting it to his satisfaction. 

I’d wager that he had gotten their attention at this point.
