It isn't Bran. It's the 3-eyed Raven. He says it over and over and over again through out the show. That USE to be Bran. It's just Bran's body that's been possessed by whomever the 3-Eyed Raven is.
We know the 3-eyed Raven can go back in time and change the future. And we know he can see the future.
Which means of course he knew the outcome all along. And since he has shown that he can go back in time and manipulate people/outcomes, it's likely that he manipulated these events to place himself on the throne.
If he manipulated these events to place himself on the throne, does that make him an evil being?
Could the Night's King have been trying to SAVE mankind by destroying the 3-eyed raven before he could conquer mankind as he did?
Was the REAL game between the 3-eyed raven and the Night's King?
If so, we could see this arc fleshed out during the prequel. Something like...maybe the 3-eyed raven caused King Aerys to go mad?
