You’re not really taking anything from anyone. They still have it.

You could say that you took a sale from them but if the only option is to purchase, they would not get a sale from me.

If they would have, they did.

They should consider piracy free advertising!

If you’re buying merch, they probably do. In fact, I think hbo said this about game of thrones.

God! What a time that was. 6 or seven years of hype for that show and the hype died as quickly as it ended.

It’s a good show, but it seems that the last time everyone was dialed into the same show.

Funnily enough, House of Dragon was better, but the hype was way less because the book it's based on is much less popular.

I did not care for house of the dragon. I liked game of thrones a lot, but really did not enjoy house of the dragon.

Fair. I loved the book, great pseudohistorical relation. What bugs me the most is that Martin can't ever finish book 6 of Asoiaf, and books 4 and 5 (especially 4) were pretty weak, and he suddenly wrote something like the Fire and Blood, proving he is not burned out, just fucking lazy bum.
