RAVENSOFT'S PROFILE

In my belief, I agree with the article.
Though I also agree with what everyone commented before.
However, with that being said...
I truly believe a story only deserves a happy ending under the conditions of it's hardships.
Where the characters/player are stack against the odds throughout the entire story/game.
And it's not just typically "Writing a bad ending, just to be different." nor do you really need to relate it to real-life accuracy.
Because everywhere in the world isn't full of "no hope" or sad conclusions and miracles do happen, which shaped our history today.
Yet, great morals and good concepts can arise from bad endings, this is a well-known fact.
