  Fuck D&D. The episodes were released with their names on it and they SUCKED EGGS. You don’t get to crawl out of your hole years later and try to foist your screw ups upon faceless “executives”.

  You fucked up. Own it.

  Even the people I know who watch movies/shows on their phones do it on landscape mode.

  Executives are the worst

  As the WSJ reports: “Benioff and Weiss, who have been friends since grad school, weren’t crazy about HBO’s then-owners, AT&T, whose executives once asked whether ‘Game of Thrones’ could be shot vertically so it would fit on your phone. The company also openly discussed the idea of snackable mini-episodes of the series.”
