Would you Kindly was in my top 5 as well, but I did not get the Bioshock Infinite ending. Could you explain it to me like I'm a moron? There is a solid chance I am.

Simple explanation: There are infinite timelines. That means there are an infinite number of timelines where Booker becomes Comstock, and an infinite number where he becomes a drunk and a worthless father. The deciding moment that decides which he becomes seems to be when he decide whether or not to be baptized. So, all of the Elizabeths instead drown all of the Bookers at the baptism, preventing Comstock from ever happening. Like most time travel movies (even the good ones) it's a paradox.

This also explains why Booker can still be there at the end, because the Bookers that decided to not get baptized SHOULD still be alive. This part is up for debate however.
