If you count C0DA as a story, then yeah, even I would be like "F*** THAT". It's just that it isnt, and isnt meant to be taken that way. It's a meta-text, not something that actually happened, because otherwise TES would be pretty much f'ed up.

It's actually supposed to make everything we love in TES canon, every of our characters, of our fanfictions and also, our headcanons. Which includes CHIM or Not-CHIM, point is, we're meant to have fun with it, not flame each other because of opinions. When Aka replaces Lorkhan's lost heart, time and space become one, allowing all of what we wish to happen to happen - For us, through an eternal Dragon Break. Basically, that hands over the writing of TES to us, so that it's not Bethesda who decide what's canon and what isnt, it's us that do it. This also means that games, for example, are suggestions and opportunities to expand our personal fantasy-universe of The Elder Scrolls, but if we don't want to do this guild or that quest, or the game at all, hey, if you're fine with skipping it and it's story, go ahead. It's your headcanon in the end, and the stories you want to tell are yours to tell - Whether they include the games, or certain quests, or even the most basic things, or not.

IMO it's a great addition to TES, and allows freedom to experience it the way we want, while still being "canon", because there is no "official canon". It makes everything "feel" better, and also more fun, really. Thus, again - Dont read it the way you would read a story - This is stupid, and then the whole text gets stupid as well, because "Tomorrowind" with Vivec, Dagoth Ur and Molag Bal fighting some weirdass television things overrunning Morrow... Sorry, Tomorrowind? No thanks, F*** that. Aight?
