For a Fee, This Service Will Ruin Game of Thrones

This week in How to Lose Friends

June 24, 2016 9:00 am

Excited for the season finale of Game of Thrones … but can’t watch the show in real time?

Brace yourself. Spoilers are coming.

A new service called Spoiled.io will, for just $0.99, text anonymous GoT spoilers to “unsuspecting friends” the moment the show finishes its 9 P.M. Sunday airing.

“Do your friends love Game of Thrones, but watch it after it airs? Are you a terrible friend? Great!” says the Spoiled.io site, a service which was inspired by a possibly true story of an ex-girlfriend seeking revenge on her cheating, Winterfell-loving former paramour.

The texts only last for the rest of the season, so … that’s only one time. As for the fee? The Spoiled.io site replies, “How else is a Lannister going to pay his debts?”

Post-finale, the site promises to post WTF? reactions on Twitter.

Hey, to the victor goes the spoils.

(If you want a somewhat non-spoilery preview of the finale, we suggest EW’s photo gallery from the upcoming episode.)
