They seemed apathetic to the whole thing. We weren't being sneaky, we shut them off one terminal at a time and no one lifted a finger. One NPC you can talk to even says he's aware of Sphene's plan and doesn't care whether she succeeds or fails. Constancy himself says that he doesn't agree that his existence should continue at the cost of others' souls.

The existence they had was more of a dream than actually being alive. They had every whim catered to them and even "serendipitous" encounters were rigged by the terminals. They were taken in and out of consciousness at random because only 1/10th of the population could exist at the same time. The place they "lived" in was run down for some time and just behind the facades the place was filled with fiends.

The whole thing was made by a people who were so upset about losing their young princess that they turned her into a program, who in turn was so protective over her people that she boxed their dead up into a computer and erased their memories from the living because she couldn't let go and her and her people became codependent on each other. And then to keep those memories of dead people dreaming along in a dilapidated Disneyland, she needs to harvest the souls of the living from other civilizations and whole worlds.

Now that's what's messed up.
