I think I'll try to talk about two sub-classes of distopian fiction across any media of presentation (texts, art, AV works, interactive media (games)). * A happy ending: Things were going wrong, but there's at least one 'right' ending, where things go the way most would agree is positive. * Only 'bad' endings: There might be a fight, you might even win the battle, but ultimately the war is lost. I think that the popularity of each of these depends on how hopeful society in general (and the people consuming the works in specific) are about the future. If we feel like there's no control or only bad routes left then the works with only 'less bad' endings will probably win.
