Yeah, like, Infinite SO OBVIOUSLY underwent vast, vast rewrites where they were clearly having almost everything other than the aesthetics of the setting up in flux. Originally it was going to be, by the looks of it, *Elizabeth* as your big supernatural heavy hitter (cont)

with, to all appearances, temporary-use bottles-o-superpower for Booker (which ended up being permanent not!plasmids), and Elizabeth as a far more open-ended reality warper type figure with Songbird actively hunting you aggressively. This makes what we *got* a sad, pale shadow.

And there's no shame in a design doc outstripping in ambitions what the team can produce. That's a real risk and games undergo significant revision over the design process. But: it's perhaps a risk of *releasing a demo long in advance when your entire game is up in the air*.

And ofc *none of it matters* Not only are the Vox, not the Founders, the actual final antagonists of the game, a sort of leaderless debased Mass of Non-Whiteness... ...they lose anyways in "the bad future" & Elizabeth takes over & turns Columbia into Vague Spooky Doom Sky City?

like the entire game's plot and themes disintegrate; actions no longer clearly follow from causes or motivations; things happen because they Must Happen

I do think it's pretty clear that this is the point in the original game they were working on where they got stuck, they couldn't figure out an ending, and then they made up a whole new thing and then edited the original game to make it match
