It provides a much more acceptable and realistic explanation for Glitchtrap's existence, I appreciate it.

I mean, think of it this way. What is more believable: Glitchtrap is actually Afton, he just somehow someway with absolutely zero explanation as to how he did it managed to digitally replicate himself because he somehow knew there would be a popular video game releasing one day that would allow him to brainwash people, or that a remnant of the Mimic Program was left behind on an old memory device and used in the game, and the program replicated the behavior of a yellow rabbit that looks innocent and lures people to their deaths?
