There were two ways for DPC to go through with the choice, the arbitrary choice point or a staggering choice over a number of episodes.
The way I see it, the end of episode 8 was the point where Jill would demand exclusivity, which is why DPC put the choice there. If it was more realistic Jill would have given Fuckface the ultimatum rather than Fuckface having the breakfast discussion. The issue would be that most players without multiple playthroughs would reject Jill straight away at that point. M/J haven't yet decided they want to add strings to the relationship because they have bigger things to worry about with Maya's tuition situation however if that gets resolved with the Burkes then they'd be the next to force Fuckface's hand. Bella would probably live with the situation longer because Fuckface dating other girls helps keep their relationship more secret but I guess her jealousy would eventually rise high enough for her to tell Fuckface that in order for her to continue with the relationship it would have to be exclusive as it's not worth her risking her job just to be one of Fuckface's many girls. That would then leave Sage who it seems would be happy with the fuckbuddy relationship for an extended period of time and probably wouldn't push Fuckface to be more serious until she was deciding what to do as she leaves college.
While the above would be more realistic Sage's popularity with the playerbase means that most players with single playthroughs would finish the game with Sage or remain single (if there's any time to spend with side girls after Sage wants to get serious) because they like Sage and want to maximise their choice through their playthrough without committing to the single relationship. DPC wants to maximise the amount of playthroughs players do so this would make no sense to him.
For example if the choice at episode 8 was get serious with Jill or keep all other options open, how many people in this thread would bother with Jill? Only those who want to get all scenes, the majority in this thread care little for Jill and would be happy just to cut her storyline for season 2. Probably the same when the throuple fork happens in episode 10 or 11, more would probably stay with Bella in ep 13/14 but the vast majority would keep options open with Sage and others until her fork happens.
