About the ending, more than a million points of disappointment

When you throw expectations and then a sudden brake or even a U-turn makes your expectations fall short, this is the end of the movie. If you press the accelerator to the end and rush hard, there may be a rainbow bridge leading to the other side of the cliff. Guy's love at first sight for Milly, the desperate rush from level 1-100, the "super-operational" kiss in the flavor of bubblegum ice cream, Milly's seemingly inadvertent sentence "my guy?!"... Every moment of these, I am full of heart. Thinking of kdlkdl, the rare virtual love is so sweet. So I was disappointed when I saw the ending. Why do you have to force a cp for Milly and the keyboard guy? The subject matter is obviously very novel, and the whole film has been emphasizing the concept of equality. Even the NPCs in the game have the right to enjoy their own lives, and even artificial intelligences like Guy have their own consciousness and meet those who they want to love recklessly. Man, why can't they love each other? Can I think that what the ending wants to tell us is that guy, the so-called love of an artificial intelligence, is just a program set by humans. I thought it was love that gave him life and gave him self-awareness, but love is just a "program love letter". Guy bet his life against his "creator", ran to the end with all his life, saved everything, and the final result was that he even took the initiative to tell Milly that he was just someone who loved her in the real world. A love letter from her. Then Milly didn't say anything, threw away the earphones, and rushed to the keyboard guy. Is this trying to tell me that I finally found true love? What about the previous story? All in vain? Of course, even if the guy doesn't fight for it, if the game is deleted, he will not escape bad luck. He is not only for himself, but only for himself, and the thousands of freedoms he mobilized together. The NPCs in the city, they are all artificial intelligences with their own consciousness, and they have a good ending regardless of the emotional line, they can enjoy their lives freely, and they are no longer just NPCs for real players. But in fact, the audience's acceptance is not so low, it can have a more perfect ending, and virtual love seems to be more in line with the concept of equality that the movie itself wants to convey. In this way, it turns the guy into a tool, a life consciousness awakened by love, but in the end it takes the initiative to give it up... At least for me, it's a pity.
