Squid Game has solidified its position as one of Netflix’s top-tier productions. And just like every great thing, it eventually concludes. The third season marked the end of the story, leaving a lasting impact on the audience. Recently, the show’s official account shared a video with the caption “Game Over. Thank you for playing. Bid farewell to Squid Game, exclusively on Netflix.
In the video, the main antagonist, referred to as “Front Man”, who controls the lethal games, can be seen approaching a red button. As soon as he presses this button, all the lights in the complex gradually dim and go out. The video then provides an account of the number of seasons, games, and players involved, before concluding that it has now come to an end.
Game over. Thank you for playing. Squid Game the complete series, only on Netflix.

A Bad Ending With A Good Message
The creator of the show, Hwang Dong-hyuk, has confirmed that the series will conclude in July 2024, with season 3 being its final chapter. In his words, he hadn’t originally intended for the ending we see now, but as he wrote and developed the stories for seasons 2 and 3, he felt compelled to wrap up the game and the protagonist Gi-hun’s journey.
Hwang Don-hyuk aimed to convey that if we persistently focus on personal gains without considering self-restraint, sacrifice, or bearing costs, and fail to collaborate, there is no promising future ahead. Many viewers found Season 3 less satisfying, particularly disliking its conclusion.
Many questions were left unresolved or given unsatisfactory answers in a hurry, and it’s disheartening to see such a purposeful show stumble slightly during its final episode. Despite some exceptional episodes, the grand finale of Squid Game wasn’t as polished as expected. However, even with its flaws, the small farewell scene on X still moved many viewers.
