'Shame, shame, shame': GOT fans furious as HBO site crashes during season 7 premiere
Sunday marked the 'HBO Go and chill' kind of a day for die-hard Game of Thrones fans waiting to watch the premiere episode of season 7 on 16 July. But looks like, for some loyalists winter is arriving late as the channel's streaming service crashed right in the middle of the season 7 premiere.
And like always, fans frustrated with the technical issues on HBO's streaming website took to their favourite medium – Twitter – to rant.
"Raise your hand if you have ever been personally victimized by HBO Go #HBOGO #GameOfThones #GoT," one Twitter user complained.
"You had one job #HBOGO, one job we are a few hours away from #GoTS7 premiere and you are down already! Fix the servers!" another furious viewer tweeted. From furious messages to hilarious memes, Twitterverse rightfully exploded with the range of fan reactions.
"#HBOGO is the first death of season Seven #got #gameofthrones #season7".
"Shame. Shame. Shame. #HBOGO is not working #GameOfThrones."
"We all know that #WinterHasCome but just a reminder to all to be courteous to those who have to wait until 10 to watch on HBOgo. No spoilers".
"I'm saying a prayer for you, HBO Go server tech team. You can do it."
