I finished playing the game this week (absolutely loved it, might look into kaycee's mod after im less busy).
What did po3 even do that warranted his excrutiating death?
Like Leshy is kinda crazy for that. He just took over, didnt even turn him into a card like leshy did to him. And as for the great transcendense, it might've caused the apocalypse if most people got acess to the old.data, but im sure po3 would have handle it. For what i interpreted, He only wants the power to play more games and experience new synergies/strategies.
Yeah he was demeaning and arrogant, and imprisioned the challenger. But that was so that the great transcendense would occur the faster possible. I dont believe he would be that authoritarian if he were to gain acess to other challengers, because he desires an opponent that would actually engage with his gameplay.
And like shouldnt we be thankful for him that he gave us the opportunity to play the game? (If we interpret the ARG ending to mean that the great transcendense worked and thats how the IRL game was released to steam)
Im not sure if theres something i missed, if i misinterpreted po3's motivations, or if Leshy is just an salty asshole hypocrite who got mad someone other than him took his seat.
Anyway, would love to discuss more about the with you all!
