At least part of the ending's problems are caused by failure to elaborate - I'd be sure even without that Patrick Weekes interview that the intention wasn't to cause a galactic dieback, but since none of that was shown in the game, there's no real reason to assume it didn't happen either. This is one area where I have actual hopes for the Extended Cut fixing things.
