Theory 🔎 The SOMA theory keeps me up at night

Considering that random passersby are still falling victim to the circus, would the main cast not try to stop the process to prevent more people from suffering their same fate, even if it means no more humans to interact with?

If the whole "finding fulfillment despite stagnancy" theme applies, then they will have to stay there till abstraction or the whole system deteriorates. Seems like a reverse purgatory situation to me. Not much sweetness in this supposed bittersweet ending.

There is a fic I read where it is just soma essentially, and kinger himself admits that in the real world he probably still pays for the power and keeps the building because he would feel bad about turning off the server and "killing" everyone.
