Game of Thrones Season 5 - Episode 1 premieres April 12th, 2015

So damn excited.

[jikoe]

kkkk lets hope episode 5 and 6 will be leaked also

[J.Dre]

Still can't believe the first four were leaked. That's not good for them.

Leaked episodes = less viewers when they air = less revenue from advertisements = less money to make season 6.

isn't it on HBO?? no ads while watching?
or is it on more channels also..?

I've never watched an episode of it. I think I'll start it.

started from the beginning last season, was worth it

HBO doesn't run advertisements during the show but they run them on other channels. Subscriptions cover HBO's costs and help shows earn money. Either way, it's detrimental to the show in the end, sort of like a trickle down effect.

Lately you've been asking me to explain everything. I'm gonna suggest you start using Google @sausting

@J.Dre I am asking for clarification on how this is 'detrimental' that is your claim thus the burden of proof is on you.
You have yet to prove how the most pirated show in the history of shows is going to suffer from a 4 episode leak.

It should go without saying, asserting that 'lately' you have been explaining everything is obviously false and I challenge you to present a single instance where you do so.

I think you simply have a problem with me or other people calling out the bullshit in your posts, no offense. I'm pretty sure I didn't post in that trade section post, but you had to be told over and over why an official seal of approval is not possible. You kept 'explaining' but not getting it.

If HBO does not run ads during the show then I think the only way it's subscriber base watching the first 3-4 episodes elsewhere would affect their revenue is if the subscription was cancelled for a month and restarted? Is that what you are proposing is going to happen? If I am not mistaken they have been re playing the season from the start up to this premier. Any GoT fan is already subscribed. Saying "either way" is not the same as proving a point.

Leaked or not the episodes are still coming online and watched with zero HBO affiliation. Welcome to the most pirated show ever.
Is that detrimental? no season 6??

[J.Dre]

Ever hear of sarcasm? I wasn't being serious. Wow.

Edit: And I never said there wouldn't be a season 6. You were blind to what I was implying because you do not understand business. Can't believe you believe that I believe four episodes would cancel the next season, lol. You're funny.

I just watched the first 4 episodes, thanks for letting me know.
