A new WordStar release? Maybe GRRM can finally finish the two missing ASOIAF books in a timely fashion with it!
My pet conspiracy theory is that he already wrote the books. But the failure of the last season of the series was so horrendous he decided to never publish them and we will probably only hear of them when they're published posthumously.
Why would the total dumpster fire that is GoT seasons 5-7, and the funeral pire hastily thrown together from beaver droppings and clown tears that is season 8, stop GRRM from releasing the books?
I think everybody understands game of thrones failed not because of the story, but because of the absolute hatred in the execution of the last two seasons.
If he released the final books, people would clamor for them, eat them up! A end to the story we got so invested in
Because he's who wrote all the ideas everyone hated. He wasn't responsible for the laziness of the set designers (looking at you Starbucks cups) but he was responsible for a large number of decisions people hated
