if it really is so bad you feel you should get your money back on principle, you know before the end of the meal/film.

I disagree that you would necessarily know.

Mass Effect 3 is stellar, until the ending invalidates basically all of your choices and destroys the galaxy no matter what you do, because the lead writer and the director thought it right to bypass their internal review process.

Firewatch feels like it’s going to take at least some of the dialogue choices you made in the game into account but then it turns out it’s entirely linear and smoke and mirrors.

A bad ending can absolutely restrospectively destroy the experience of an otherwise good story.

Doesn’t help that phase 2 and the endings both suck pretty hard, so why bother.

The media goes poof anyway, there’s plenty of NFTs that point to dead links on domains that expired once the grift was no longer worth it.

Personal backups are the only real way to protect media for yourself and those around you.
