I would have told you that even before this whole thing.@Legacy Should I stop dreaming about a West World house ?

Apparently yes...Does this really need to be explained?
GoT wasn't leaked. The Ghostbusters leak made HBO believe there was no way Universal could keep it under wraps.Apparently yes...
For people who don’t understand why GoT got pulled. It’s really simple, HBO said they could have the house IF it didn’t get leaked. GB got leaked and GoT was brought up. It was leaked so HBO did what they said.

I didn’t say GoT was leaked, I said it got brought up which it did, I said GB got leaked which it did.GoT wasn't leaked. The Ghostbusters leak made HBO believe there was no way Universal could keep it under wraps.
Forgive me if this is a stupid question -
But why does HBO care so much about GoT being "leaked"? To my understanding, this forum accounts for a very small percentage of the people who go to HHN. Almost everything said here kind of stays within this small circle.
And even if the leak was to go "mainstream", what's so bad about it for HBO? It's not like it would reduce numbers or anything. Plus the show is over. I'm not really understanding... It seems like there would be more of an impact on Universal, if any at all??
I mean, in a way; it's still an IP that has a lot of clout in media. And if one wrong thing comes in, it could've damaged the brand further than HBO or anyone else involved may of been willing to allow.
Game of Thrones does have a audience outside of the Television series.
It's not the forums themselves that matter.Forgive me if this is a stupid question -

But why pull it?
Honestly with Game of Thrones being over, HHN could actually be an opportunity for HBO to continue profiting off the series. Selling merch, keeping the series "alive", and even exposure to people who have never seen the show who might go through the house and say "damn, now I need to watch the show" and buy the series or an HBO subscription. I think if the information we are receiving is legit, then HBO made a dumb decision from a nonsensical fear of a small group of people finding out a few weeks before millions of people would.
But I'm just an average HHN goer who doesn't understand business analytics so maybe there is a valid reason for dropping out.
Ideally, This would be the part where this story goes to the mainstream news media, the fans go APE... Then, they (HBO) realize this could still work and the demand would be huge, go back and negotiate a bit of a better deal, silently kill graveyard and build GOT in 3 months, Make it a surprise announcement...
i can post it on reddit, what should i put in it?It is now our duty to make this go viral and make HBO change their mind, because a GoT house would be SICK

"at universal studios halloween horror nights this year, they were going to have a game of thrones haunt. however, due to multiple leaks, HBO pulled out, cancelling the haunt. however, if we can spread this around we can make this happen."
