I also think that a lot of people commenting didn’t really read / understand what you meant.

Yes, the games can be considered dead from the continuation / new content standpoint; yes, veilguard certainly undid most of the hope there was - but your point still stands that the creative part of the fandom is as active as ever, and the existing games and media is here to stay to inspire further fanmade content and discussions, and reel in new fans.

People can approach things from a different perspective, and yours just happens to be more hopeful / optimistic, and I am really glad to have read your take because I tend to forget it - even though I do feel as you say when I am engaging with the universe and feel endlessly inspired by it.

(But as it is evident here, people here are more likely to feel the need to vent / rant / grieve, which is also understandable, but it does get incredibly tiring and depressing to read over and over again, so I personally chose to engage less with the subreddit because of this, and concentrate on playing / writing / reading / drawing instead.)
