That may be true. The way I see it, he's got nothing to gain and everything to lose if he finishes it. Since GOT, he's now in great demand as a fantasy writer in the movie/video realm. Hollywood is showering him with lucrative deals. So, if he finishes WOW and it flops, after having worked on it for 13 years, it will call into question his status as the "go-to" fantasy guy. No one likes a loser, especially Hollywood, because investing millions into productions that flop hurts the bottom line. Conversely, if he finishes it and it's a great success, it doesn't really do much for him. He's already in great demand, and it's not like he'll suddenly have more opportunities open to him as a result of the success of WOW. So finishing WOW is now a situation where it can only hurt him and not help him.
