Some fans were excited to get first access while others were wondering if they should watch the leaked content or not, and many were plainly disappointed with spoilers from the show.
Representatives from both Amazon Prime and HBO did not respond or make comments about the leak, but the episode leak and loophole was reportedly taken down from Amazon Prime.
Despite online piracy affecting the show, GoT has remained by far the most successful TV show in history, and its popularity has only increased. The series premiere with its first episode of the last season set a multi-platform record with 17.4 million viewers for the HBO show, last week.
Earlier this week, it was also revealed that George RR Martin, the author of show’s source material, had featured an impossible incestuous relationship in the upcoming episodes.
The final season of Game of Thrones airs an episode every Sunday.
