Increasingly I'm starting to feel like DPC is making a huge mistake with all this blocking and locking people out of moments with certain characters.This I agree with. Some paths blocking out some choices makes sense, but most of those look like it's "just because". There's not a real ingame reason for blocking Cathy or Jade for M&J players. Same for Jill and Nicole. I would be ok for consecuences for actions, but not for random blocks.
From a replayability standpoint, sure, it might seem like a good idea, but it creates a lot of inconsistencies within the story and how the MC is, based both on how they are generally portrayed and the actions of the player. For example, what happens with Quinn in this episode, from my perspective, makes no sense. He offers to help but she brushes him off simply because of his affinity and him being in a relationship with M&J, however, my MC accepted her number, used her services with Riona and Camila, won the cum-petition, had sex with her in Ep 4, and had a fairly a nice text conversation in Ep 5.
So to me, there is no reason why, in a realistic sense, Quinn wouldn't accept his help for the arbitrary reasons of not being on the DIK path and being with M&J because they're on relatively good terms based on the actions I've taken. This is where I think DPC is making a big mistake because the MC's actions and interactions are not being properly rewarded in most cases all for the sake of creating "replayability", even when it makes no sense to lock off certain content.
M&J still have separate moments and events with the MC so the separate summary sections are still useful to say what happened with each character in these moments.If you look at final episode DPC has not joined Josy and Maya as one in the reports, they are still separately, which leads me to think, and there are clues for it in the two routes, that it is possible that they could once again be a possible couple of the MC for separated, as if the trio breaks up or if the relationship between the two of them goes to shit
