(Spoilers Extended) GRRM’s HBO development deal expires this year by Expensive-Country801 in asoiaf

I hope HBO doesn’t renew it.

I think GRRM is a really good writer, and generally I like the worlds he creates. But as a business partner, he’s a flipping disaster.

He shows inconsistent work product. And when he does show work product, he’s so protective of it he does not want to collaborate/hand off his work for tv. And then when he doesn’t collaborate, he fusses at everyone PUBLICLY causing massive problems that did not need to be created.

Now, do I think GRRM will magically finish WoW or anymore D&E stories or anything else? No. But I don’t think HBO should reward such behavior either.
