yeah, what'd you think of that ending? It's odd in the moment, though I liked it more on reflection. The change of heart from Dylan makes sense when you consider that he's actually been sitting with this for 20 years, which the game leverages to wrongstep the player, highlighting the limitations of what you can conclude from the archives. As ever, you piece together a person from pieces, which is limited by not just a conflation that ignores the passage of time, but because ultimately how someone presents themselves on the internet is not the full picture.
And then the apology itself which felt unearned, because well, it is. Confessing your crimes and eulogizing the victims in the program that killed them is some unsettling, psychopath shit. He's still a techbro chud who thinks in tech solutions no matter how clearly inappropriate.
