When will they learn that they can't just defecate into a box, slap the name of a major TV series on it ("Battlestar Galactica", "Game of Thrones", etc.) and expect it to be a hit?

What disgusts me most is the cliche predictability of it all; trying to get scifi fans hyped on a game attached to a hit show; did we know ANYTHING about the last two Game of Thrones games, other than that they had "Game of Thrones" in the title? Was it all that surprising that they turned out terribly?

Lord of the Rings has had some good games, and some bad games too, but you could usually tell when they *put effort into it*. I.e. the Battle for Middle-earth series of games felt like they actually wanted to have some storytelling, or just developing the cultural "feel" of each faction in skirmish games.

Well, a good GoT game will come along sooner or later. Our patience is tidal.
