They even have this problem a bit in Pyre. The whole game is building up to this big rebellion, but then ends right before you get there. They wrap everything up with a text crawl. can I get some god damn denouement. I loved the game til then but it’s frustrating to see it in their next games too

Families of people with severe autism say the repeated expansion of the diagnosis pushed them to the sidelines. A new focus on the disorder has opened the way for them to argue their cause.
