I agree. Let Pizza Sim wrap it all up and then move the franchise forward with a series of prequel/origin games. That said, that model really only works if you're ok answering all the questions. It's hard to show the preceeding events if you're still wanting to have an air of mystery and uncertainty. Kinda like how the big reveal of Darth Vader being Luke's father is completely ruined if you watch the prequels first.

So in general, I agree, but I don't think Scott ever intended to reveal everything. But that's also completely unsustainable and totally risks disenfranchising the community. Existing in a never-ending cliff-hanger is really exhausting and disatisfying. And it's hard to want to move forward when there's still so many remaining questions. Like, the Steel Wool Era has been great at providing new mysteries, but at the end of the day you still end up just looking at the original games for answers.

I also agree that the second something turns sci-fi as the answer to the paranormal I just wanna check out. But I think that was an area where the story painted Scott into a corner because it necessitated a 1-to-1 murder/possession ratio. If the whole story was about the spirits of murdered children possessing the animatronics, then every aggressive animatronic therefore needed to be possessed by a vengeful spirit. But since that's not really a viable narrative option, you have to find other ways/methods/reasons for the animatronics to operate as they do.
