It's being placed at the showrunners' feet because they deserve it. They messed up the landing. Not that it should get GRRM any credit or leniency. I give the showrunner's credit for omitting Patchface. Good call.
I know this is an old post but....

Purposely setting up the show to have an awful ending, then writing an amazing ending for the book (so that he can sell more books) is such a great way to stick it to hollywood, and seems like something GRRM would do...also dying before he finishes writing the books seems like something he would do too.
