Game of Thrones creators/showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff sat for a Q&A session at the Austin Film Festival this weekend, revealing, according to some who were live-tweeting the event, that they didn’t place any particular weight to fan feedback or criticisms throughout their journey making the series.
As documented by Needle and Pen on Twitter, Weiss didn’t see the value of considering other people’s reactions.
Were you listening to the feedback to your fans as things went along?
Dan: “We really did not.”
