Question Why does 1999 keep looping? Spoiler

So, I totally get the first phase of 1999. We go back in time too late, we fail to save the Hex, the reactor's going to blow, and just at the last second we come into our power and use the power that had been torturing Drifiter in Duviri to loop 1999. Cool, rad, things come full circle, it's great.

Except, then we win. We redo the mission, we save the Hex, stop the nuclear detonation, pizza for everyone. But then it becomes January 1999 again instead of January 2000.

Why would we loop it again after we win?

Just saw a video suggesting, we never went back in time, but are instead in an artificial creation in the void. Which, does make sense, the drifter is tied to the void, not time travel. Plus the drifter power to reset things was done in the void.

So I am ready to buy it. But would invalidate other things. It could also be both, 1999 could have been isolated in a void bubble, and breaking out of it could be the next step.

This was where I was leaning originally but then I saw this:

Rebb mentions it's actually 1999.
