Maybe it's because you're a lazy, whiny faggot, George.

It feels like Martin's name was just stamped onto Elden Ring to attract the normies. "Buy our game featuring that guy whose books you've never read that were adapted into that show you used to like!" FromSoft is plenty good at crafting its own lore and doing its own worldbuilding. It's never needed his help and from what I've seen (don't have it yet), ER's story isn't all that different from their usual fare.
For what it's worth, his involvement impacted the game to me:
It made me pledge to not buy it until it is 75% off.
I feel like pandering to normies and rainbow rejects will backfire on FromSoft since neither of those groups would enjoy Souls gameplay.
They definitely did name drop him but I do believe the lore in ER is the best it’s ever been in a Souls game, not counting Bloodborne, mostly because I never played it. I would, I just don’t have a PS5 and would rather play the best version and I’m not jumping through hoops to buy a game console I don’t have much time to play anyway.
