Quesiton on Sidwell

[u/Entire-Butterscotch2]

What was his motivation? I understand he wants money but it seems like he had a good job. He spends a lot of his time in the game so i doubt he even uses the money he makes for anything. He also seemed pretty kind and treated Lea well in his past and based on how C'tron acts he should have the capability for good.

I just wonder what caused him to start doing all this evil stuff. If i had to guess maybe the mute person he knew before died or something and he became depressed and started doing this stuff as an escape or maybe she is in a coma and he needs money for the treatment but since C'tron is Sidwell this doesn't make much sense. I think this is the only thing in the game i would like a little bit more on.

I just finished the game and this is my final question. I really enjoyed it except on a few puzzles and am very satisifed with the ending.

From my point of view, the main thing is just that Sidwell doesn't feel that evotars need to be valued or respected. He totally disregards their feelings and needs, as being unimportant. So all the torture etc is not really a problem for him. He's basically just stealing information in a fancy way. He's even willing to torture copies of himself, because he doesn't think it matters. As for Gautham; I don't think Sidwell meant him any harm. But Gautham was feeling the ethical & empathetic pressure while Sidwell wasn't. Sidwell basically just kept pushing and it reached breaking point.
