What if its like Hollywood, and they make sequels just for $ (Destiny)

Maybe I'm alone, but I fundamentally reject the idea that a sequel could tarnish that perfect ending. The game could literally open immediately after the first game with Ellie getting trampled by an escaped giraffe or something and it wouldn't do anything to the ending of TLoU. It was still perfect and emotionally effective as it was experienced. That memory will always be there.
It's like folks saying reboots of 80s movies somehow ruin the originals. That's a ridiculous line of thinking in my book.
I think the issue is that part of what made the ending so great was the imaginary space it put us in that insisted we try to imagine what happened next. Not knowing is part of that ending's strength.
That said, we should probably all lie back and think of The Godfather, Part II.
