Fair point, but they did change all of their staff and writers after s4 when George left, and George only wrote a few episodes directly. Personally that's a large part of what I ascribe to the decrease in quality (at that time a lot of the dialogue changed, e.g. the Queen of Thorns was a lot less sharp after).

I probably shouldn't assign so much blame directly though.

And George Martin has taken his sweet time with winds of winter, which I think suggests he's lost interest too.

Absolutely, there were many reasons for the decline in writing and I am by no means going to defend D&D or their team as writers, but I don't envy the situation they were handed.
