I'm glad you liked it! I have a blog on the IT (Indoctrination Theory as well. It's bad, trust me. If they planned this all along, that would be a thousand times worse. This would mean they knowingly sold us an unfinished story. It's also terrible storytelling. When I purchase a game for $70+ it needs to be a complete product. As MrBTounge said, climax follows the rising action, followed by falling action and then resolution. There are some variations of course, but no plot diagram should ever be rising action, confusion, months of frustration and confusion, then an explanation. That's just bad writing, plain and simple.

Of course, this also means that they are perfectly willing to alienate and effectively punish players without an Internet connection. Why am I being forced to wait several months before the true ending is revealed? If it's so great, it should have been in the original product. Making us wait months and months before they reveal "the truth" is just insulting. Also consider the fact that they have mostly kept to themselves, without actually genuinely communicating with the fans. If they had this "ace" up their sleeve, they sure aren't acting like it.

If you want to know why the theory is a horrible idea in greater detail, you can read my blog below.
