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

I've never read his stuff. And I certainly don't credit him with the success of Elden Ring.
Never forget the part he played in the Hugos that one year. That one event alone tarnished what people considered a respectable award.
He didn’t have much to do with Elden Ring succeeding but the lore and all that was pretty good, albeit largely untold.
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.
I feel like pandering to normies and rainbow rejects will backfire on FromSoft since neither of those groups would enjoy Souls gameplay.
