The viewing numbers were there, but ultimately not in high enough numbers to counter the cost (and I'm not entirely sure that they could have been high enough to counter the cost in today's TV and Streaming climate, unfortunately).

Amazon didn't buy anything. IWoT continues to own the media rights to WoT. Sony Pictures Television simply licensed the television rights and then approached Amazon with their pitch for the show.

Rafe explicitly said that the Polycule would've definitely happened.

As a person who hated the books, Rafe's approach to adapting the material was not only valid, but needed. Which is his prerogative as the person adapting the story. The realm of 'book-to-screen adaptation' is the only place I've ever seen where people get vociferously angry about adaptors choosing to tell a story they love in a new and different (either slightly or significantly) way, and it's both irrational and ridiculous.

I was a Show-Only fan because i loved the show but hated the books.
-
The cancellation bums me out, but what I'm truly mourning is the loss of the community that I became a part of as a result of its existence because, as a Show-Only fan, I've got no real incentive to stay engaged with the fandom.

That might sound like a lot, but I suspect that they'd offer to put up a lot more if that's what it took to get SPT onboard for more of the show. I can't think of (m)any other instances where a distributor wants more of a show that a production studio isn't as invested in as they were at the start.
-
These negotiations aren't about cost, though. Amazon wants the show to continue, but SPT, as the TV rights holder and primary production studio, has to be willing to make the show a priority, and it doesn't seem as if they are right now. I think they can get there, but it might take a commitment from Amazon to help fast-track production on the God of War and/or Horizon shows that SPT wants to make in order to make it happen.
