Relax, almost everyone I know who has played this game wants to know what happens, where or how you came up this notion that the ending was desgined for the  imagination and the imagination only is beyond me. Bottom line is you're in the minority, people want to see what happens, people want to see a newer version of the ellie and joel story, and the ending of the last of us allows that to happen.

Because that's good writing. Because an ending like that to a story like that separates good writers from amateur ones. There's no doubt in my mind that TLOU was written to be just one game. There's no room for a sequel. The decision to make one if purely a financial one. No integrity.

And of course I want to know what happens. Everyone does. The ending was designed to make you want to know what happens. The exercise in good writing becomes having the restraint to not tell you. It would be like writing a sequel to Inseption, so you can find out if he's not still dreaming. That's like Aonuma making a sequel to Makora's Mask so you can find out who the Mask Salesman, the Fierce Deity, Termina, and Majora really are. If you can't understand why that's bad, and moreso slimy, writing, then just end I'll just end this discussion here.

We're in a thread about a pretty much already confirmed sequel to the last of us, meaning the people who made the last of us already decided to make a sequel. That's proof, if it wasn't proven already based on the ending, that there is room for a sequel. You claim that making a sequel is sloppy writing, that must mean that you know more about writing than the creators themselves.
