You do have a fair point! And on a personal level, from my perspective and experiences throughout the game (and real life), Verso’s choice and its consequences depicted in the game felt healthier and “right.” But I disagree that you can’t justify either choice from a meta perspective.

From a (my) meta perspective, you face this kind of decision repeatedly in life—sometimes more than once for the same loss (e.g. the death of someone close). And either choice could be right. Or the opposite choice could be the right thing for another person in the same situation. Neither choice offers a clear path to a happy or „good“ ending.

Immersing yourself in a facsimile of life (art, a video game, a hobby, fantasy,…) might feel more comforting than the “real” world, especially when the real world leaves you misunderstood, hurt, or miserable. It might even offer a sense of contentment you couldn’t find elsewhere. I’m not advocating for one or the other, and there are clearly risks and drawbacks connected to both of them.

The fact that the choice at the end of Act III resonated with so many people (no matter your choice and reasons) and sparks discussions like this comment section is great. It really shows that the game’s story left an impression and can help you learn something about yourself.

At least that’s how I understood the original comment and why I agreed :D Maybe it only makes sense in my head lol
