"All the same, Silent Hill was designed to allow people to draw their own opinions on what happened between James and Mary and he shouldn't be surprised people came to different ones than his own"

Ito contradicts that idea all the time. No, the series was not designed that way. No other game made by Team Silent gets treated this way so why do people think it makes sense that 2 is some sort of deep outlier. The games give you everything you need. There's not much actual digging to do.
