I havent played it and the answer is nope. Probably better that way actually.
You can enjoy it both ways. It's pretty similar to GoT in that way.
No one who read the books enjoyed GOT.

Yeah, Ep. 3 is fantastic. I'd have been happy with Frank and Bill as a stand-alone movie, if it were just a little more fleshed out. Very touching love story.

That's not true. Especially for Seasons 1-4ish.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The final season of GoT is nowhere near as bad as folks make it out to be.

I don't actually believe my hyperbolic statement, I was just trying to summon chud by talking shit about book readers.

Anyway.
It's great to see the love this last episode is getting online. We should be honest... it was a risk... and god bless HBO for still being willing to take them.

Nothing compared to the risk of a faithful-to-the-game season 2. Get your popcorn ready.

Where do you guys even see that stuff? Occasionally I'll run into a few cave people in a TikTok comments thread, but I really have to seek that stuff out to encounter it at all.

Twitter and comments sections, mostly. It's easily avoidable.
