What do you guys think? Is Michael Afton still alive or is he possessing Glamrock Freddy?

Getting Exotic Butters in Help Wanted for collecting all the coins was an early reference to Michael being alive because the last time the exotic butters were used was to establish Michael Afton as the owner of the survival Logbook (basically Exotic Butters are tied to Michael Afton's identity)

There is another piece of evidence to support this theory. In help wanted 2 There is a drawing of Helpy escaping a burning building.

The email to mafton is hard to dismiss. I've been resistant to the idea of Mike still being alive, but I'm coming around

Him being alive or perhaps surviving the fire in FNAF 6 can also parallel William. He’s always been compared to william, following his whole thing so him coming back like his father is pretty poetic. Also, in the forgotten names and faces album that teases abyss there has been a lot of michael afton imagery, the artist specifically remastered Michael’s theme from FNAF SL… interesting.

im one hundred percent sure michael's alive and lurking around atm, really hoping he shows up in the next game or something soon considering he literally has no content in-game outside of SL despite being the main character of the first arc lmao<br>i honestly think he works for the company still but only for the sake of getting closer to whatever he's after (probably? the mimic?) since the faz wrench that 'looks just like cassie's dad's' has the backwards purple hex code on the back, and if that's him in fred masquerade, it's very likely he's an employee. he's most likely still squatting there though lol

When gregory is talking to cassie in the elevator he only has one syllable worth of pause for the static that to me means it would either have to be will or mike, and it would only make sense to be mike

I remember when Scott said he's now exploring AI posession I just thought "how is that different from just the old posession of robots? Posession is posession?"<br><br>I think he could be leaning towards AI's capability of learning and that maybe the leftover souls are trying to make it lean towards one type of personality or another.<br>So maybe unlike Elizabeth in Ennard knowing full well who Michael is, but the homicidal programming of Circus Baby still being influential enough to where knowing his identity doesn't stop her from wanting to kill him, this time it's more like the spirits are affecting the AI by making them learn "what would they do" but the AI itself being advanced enough to develop its own personality. <br><br>In that sense, if Michael does posess Glamrock Freddy in any way, instead of the old "his spirit entirely posessing the animatronic" he could just be training the AI things like "protect Gregory at all costs" and Glamrock Freddy following that instruction, and developing his own personality as the story progresses.<br><br>So instead of it being just the animatronic = the spirit + programming, it's more like AI training it.<br>As analogy, maybe in today's term, if Elizabeth was influencing an AI version of Circus Baby, she wouldn't just be "Elizabeth memories + Circus Baby programming" but rather Elizabeth influencing the animatronic's AI to do what she sees as her main priority, that possibly being "make daddy proud at all costs."<br><br>This might make an AI alternate version of Circus Baby start developing new traits instead of just being a "killing machine" such as actively trying to reanimate William Afton with new methods, not just by killing willy-nilly (like focusing on things like disabling security protocols).<br><br>This makes the new way of posessing more unique?<br><br>I don't know...

I really love Michael as a character and I really hope that he is alive somehow.
