* Jossed. Michael clearly stated that Scott must die for the terror to end, and Scott held off Creation long enough for Michael to resort to [[GrandTheftMe possessing]] him.

He says, "Thank you for your cooperation, Scott Cawthon. I'll take everything from here." This isn't Michael talking at this point- it's Nikson, the creator of the game, speaking to our timeline's Scott Cawthon, thanking him for making the games and reassuring him that he doesn't have to make another game if he doesn't want to. When he states that he'll "take everything from here," he's actually referring more widely to the community and that they'll continue producing good fanmade content (no, that's not an oxymoron) for his sake.

* There's a post-night newspaper shown that claims whether you believe in spirits and that you might have physically seen yourself at some point in time, implying the Ignited (and the "Fallen") could be spirits possessed by evil spirits that aren't from even [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys Five Nights at Freddy's itself]] in-universe!

* It's a [[StealthPun meta-phor]] of how the fandom won't leave Scott alone and keeps pestering him constantly for new FNAF content. [[spoiler:Michael/Creation]] and the Ignited animatronics are reflections of the most persistent fans who twist everything against Scott and even threaten him and his family should he not release more content. (And don't try to pretend those kinds of fans don't exist.) The game is a reflection of Scott's psyche as the fans continue to pester him, their demands warping, their hunger for more content growing insatiable, until finally Scott breaks under the incessant pressure (hence the ending) and gives into the fan's demands, now a thoroughly broken and melancholy man, and [[DrivenToSuicide possibly commits suicide via house fire]] [[GoodbyeCruelWorld to make sure they can't make him keep going.]] The various newspaper clippings are just misdirection, and Michael really was a crazy homeless guy who somehow pushed Scott into his psychological breakdown. The constant repitition of "come back" is the fans pestering Scott. As for Nick's narration? It could easily be construed to fit with the above, and as for the BadEnding cutscene? Perhaps Adult!Nick decided to follow in his father's footsteps...

Some of the fans who want Scott dead (and they do exist, don't try to tell me they don't) moled their way into the little group and rewired the robots for murder, even making some of their own. They even managed to set up a kind of [[BookcasePassage Bookcase Passage-styled]] system to make poor Scott lose his mind in the basement, but Michael figured out what was going on in time and diverted Scott to the attic in time, [[TakingTheBullet suffering the horrible]] [[MindScrew mind screws [[TakingTheBullet that the crazy "fans" set up in Scott's place.]] The crazy "fans" sicced their own animatronics on Scott, deeming the original Ignited animatronics not efficient enough and cobbling them together into Creation in what they thought was a clever, ironic play on Ennard and setting the house on fire to leave no evidence behind. Scott, amazingly, managed to survive, but was killed anyway by one of the crazy "fans." ([[EvenEvilHasStandards]] They didn't go after Scott's family because they didn't blame them for anything.]]) The original fans who started the operation to help Scott went into despair, and Michael, who already felt pretty guilty and wasn't the sanest after the mindscrewery of the basement, used some kind of spirit magic and managed to help Scott repossess his old body with the knowledge that it would only hold on long enough for him to say goodbye to his family. The line at the end, which seems to be from Creation, is actually from Michael, who completely lost his sanity in order to bring Scott's spirit back for a few minutes and has completely forgotten which side he was on in the first place.
