What if Hank didn't commit the massacre because he didn't like the music, but because SOMEONE ordered him to? (theory)

(Before we begin, this theory is not mine but is part of a video from the Spanish channel called Leyendas Del Lore, and I am sharing this same theory with you in English)

As we all know, in episode 1 of M:P, Hank committed a massacre because of a song he didn't like, but... what if he didn't do it because of a song, but because someone ordered him to? And that someone is The Machine. The Machine, being the most powerful being in the entire series, has the ability to control certain characters, influencing many of their decisions (as possibly happened with Player in M:PN2 arena mode), so it wouldn't be too far-fetched to think that The Machine ordered Hank to commit that massacre. Furthermore, we know that The Machine sometimes revives Hank because he's possibly entertained by the massacres he commits, and that's why he doesn't let him die—it amuses him.

(I'm not good at explaining theories, so please don't make fun of me, and I hope you liked it.)
