People give George R.R. Martin grief for the delay of "The Winds of Winter," but imagine trying to write a continuation of your series after HBO already wrote their own ending to it George R.R. Martin takes a lot of heat for the delay of "The Winds of Winter," the planned next book in the "Game of Thrones" series, but honestly I totally get This George RR Martin writing philosophy is kind of unique compared to other authors. Where other authors have story beats outlined out that need to be hit Martin allows the character to guide the story. This is what, IMO, makes the series of books great. From the interviews that have been released, George R. R. Martin completed his contribution to the game about 2 years ago. I believe that Martin was contracted to write the world building and lore of the game when From Soft was still deep in development of Sekiro.
