For me it‘s completely the other way around, and I’m glad they held off from releasing just anything.
> A story not having an ending taints the entire affair such that I would rather have never started it at all.
That has never stopped me from replaying both Half-Life’s 3 or 4 times and I never felt that I’d rather not have played it.
> A mediocre, or even bad, ending is far better than nothing.
On the opposite, I will never re-watch Game of Thrones just because I now know it was all leading up to an incredible disappointment.

That ending (and the last 2-3 seasons for that matter) was truly awful. But at the same time, that's at least better than what we're getting with the books, which is a whole lot of nothing. I don't see myself rereading ASOIAF because of the same reason: it's leading up to an incredible disappointment. Between the two disappointments, I would rather have the GoT style than the ASOIAF style.
