‘House of the Dragon’ showrunner Ryan Condal say it is disappointing that George R.R Martin publicly disagreed with changes the HBO series made.
George got what he wanted: wealth and fame. Maybe someone should suggest he finish his popular book series before he dies

The full quote:
Quite frankly after what Dan and Dave to ruin Game of Thrones reputation, this honestly isn’t surprising whatsoever.
They cut out a character to save money and air time, and George thinks that will make the plot fall apart later.
Regardless of who’s right, he’s probably not going to trust a showrunner who’s trying to rush things.

Counterpoint: GRRM has written himself into a corner and can’t actually finish his own story where he originally envisioned it.

And has totally stopped trying.

I mean, that’s entirely possible, based on the one account we have from the showrunner, it could be interpreted as the show runner is being greedy and George just wants art made right, or it could be read as George obsesses over these boring little details that no one else actually cares about and needs a better editor.
My point was just that either way, this is how it was always going to go after Dan and Dave ruined the original series by rushing it. They’re lack of care and attention to detail may have been the final nail in the coffin for George ever letting people substantively edit him again.

The lazy river book with Tyrion convinced me the GRRM’s editor is actually a cat or dog.

He has worked in TV for quite a while, so I would assume he knows what he is talking about. On the other hand, I can also imagine that he has become a little too perfectionist for his own good.
