I'm sorry to intervene the flow of the ending story (and will remove this post in due time if it seems fit to do so), but isn't this a bit overstreched? I mean, it would be nice to exchange some comments with fellow-players before the memory of the game wanes and the new one begins...
An ending like this only serves to make the game fade out to insignifigance, just slowly decaying away, leaving no tracks whatsoever...
