I agree and I'm happy to read positive comments from reasonable people. The strangely aggressive reactions that I've encountered elsewhere have almost exhausted me.
My ending worked for me both emotionally and in the large thematic sense. And I was just as invested in the games and the universe as anyone else. Many of the criticisms that I read simply aren't as intelligent as they are presented as. Of course there is always space for genuine disagreements, but from what I've seen the loudest and most active critics don't seem interested in good-faith discussion. Many of them don't even know what a discussion between adults is supposed to be like.
Typically I'm very critical about popular culture (this is something I genuinely enjoy) and I completely support people expressing strong criticisms on something they didn't like. I think that's great. I've been there. But the atmosphere right now is so toxic. People speak like only an idiot or a very casual player could have enjoyed the ending. Well I am neither and I felt the game ended really well.
In an atmosphere of negativity it becomes very difficult to give the ideas the kind of basic good will that any story needs in order to be appreciated.
