But picking a weaker opponent to compete against is smart, even if upsets can happen. Picking the strongest opponent in a competition is just arrogance and bad strategy.

It's hilarious how some of the women are so overconfident that they pick the biggest strongest guy to challenge and just get easily destroyed, and then are like "I'm proud of myself." No, you're an idiot.

If reddit breaks its promises for what you'll get when you use it, then yes it doesn't deserve any users

>Quite frankly I don't even understand how he hasn't been forced to release something.
There is no way the publisher will release one of the most popular and best selling authors of all time from their contract. Even if there is a 1% chance he finishes it, that's definitely worth the risk. They are hoping he finishes the series as much as the readers are.

>no one ever holds a 10+ year grudge
You must not be on reddit very often. People here still talk about what a tragedy the cancelation of 10+ year old shows was. Remember Firefly?

No but he does owe an ending. Imagine he was honest with readers and said "hey guys you can buy A Game of Thrones but just know, this series will never be finished." Do you think anyone would buy the book? Of course people assume there will be an ending when they start the series. He owes all of his success to the readers so yes, he does owe an ending even if it's a bad one.

Imagine if all authors thought this way. The book industry wouldn't survive. Who wants to start a series and risk never knowing the ending? There HAS to be the expectation of completion or people just simply won't buy book series anymore.

I wasn't saying your opinion was popular. I was saying it's stupid.

>He doesn't owe anyone anything
The ONLY reason so many people read his books and recommend it to others is because there is an expectation that there will eventually be a complete story with an ending. There is an implicit promise that if you start reading the series, it will be concluded one day. He's one of the richest and most successful authors because of the people reading his books, and therefore owes the readers a satisfying conclusion.

I'm sorry I forgot that women are beyond criticism and are perfect beings who can do no wrong
