That wouldn't make sense.
Yeah also played that one, and just like in that one, I expect the relationship to continue not to end abruptly for no reason...

an ending in which Mc will end up with neither Jaye nor Mallory will be there for sure. i don't believe in a completely negative and sad ending, though; there are so many sidegirls left behind (Fiona, mom and daughter at the lodge in the mountains, the bartender/taxi driver...)
AVNs tend to be consoling, not punitive

Yeah, this is set up as there is a possible ending to Ep9 that has both Jaye and Mallory ditching MC. It was said that some of the side girls will have scenes in the epilogue, so there will be some sort of "solo" ending that includes them, even if it's not a typical "ending" with each girl.

I agree the game isn't going to be punitive, but it's possible to burn bridges with almost all the side girls if you play your cards right (or wrong, depending on how you look at it).
If you never respond to Fiona, ignore Hank and don't hook up with Erica, tell Linda to get back with her husband, ask Tara to stop helping you with Jaye, stonewall Lisa, and find Tanaka's parlor trick unimpressive, I don't see any of them showing up in the MC's sunset. I'm not sure about Bianca, maybe she's being kept in play as the fallback?

I don't consider Lisa and Tara as they are already committed to the new game, so I don't expect anything.
on Erika you're probably right, but with Linda and Fiona there was only one choice that then yielded no outcome, so it's hard to say that it could be so definitive, to me both seemed like 2 paths sketched out and then forgotten (like the promise of sex with the bartender). Linda may have tried to make things right with her husband and still have failed
but Fiona is my No. 1 candidate; she even reappeared for no real reason in the final scene

Technically true, but I'm still skeptical. If the player wanted Linda to get back with her husband, what sort of reward is it to terminate the marriage and 'legitimize' the affair? Likewise, if the player refused to engage Fiona at every opportunity, why would said player be happy to see her again? Are either of those scenarios really preferable to the MC remaining an eligible bachelor?
Then again, the devs still pulled the old switcheroo with the open relationship, so maybe they'll ignore the player's input and stick with porn tropes for the epilogues. But I sure hope not!
I really liked this comparison. Both, Bare Witness and Chasing Sunsets feels like perfectly prepared undercooked meal. You can't say it's bad but it is not good either, one key element is missing and that leaves terrible taste.

Most likely Walter [not me, Walter], if there is consoling to do.

Okay, but no one plays for mc to remain alone, barring completism. Normally it is a mistake or a run that was dedicated to a character that proves unavailable. It is a consolation prize, so that the player's choices are not central is acceptable. And anyway I don't recall an explicit closure with Fiona, the issue of the custom dildo doesn't seem so definitive to me.

I don't think 90% is a correct assumption. Everyone who played this game and read the story completely has to admit a harem ending wouldn't fit in. It goes against the shown personalities of Jaye, Mallory, Lisa, etc. The players should be thankful for the throuple ending, because that's a fan service obviously. It doesn't fit either.

A harem ending certainly wouldn't fit. But a ladies-man ending where MC goes around fucking a lot of these women (or choosing a relationship outside of the 2 main LI) could work. There are quite a few ladies interested in him after all, and not all of them might have the need to tie him down so much.
Not to mention a throuple ending could fit, just not the way it's setup right now. Quite a few things would have had to happen before that became a possibility, just not something we're likely to see as the story was cut short so quickly.
You might feel like it, but sorry to tell you, you are not 90%. Regardless what you (not) pay on paypal, how many messages you send to the devs daily, it's just not enough! You need to increase your efforts, to reach the 90% you need to pay more! MORE! MONEY!

In which world? Sure, the game and the story is pure fiction, but the devs tried to make the characters realistic. No woman in their right mind accepts a throuple as a serious relationship. That's just porn fantasy.

yet there was a concern to fit it in as naturally as possible....
I honestly don't quite understand what you're talking about, never mind Jaye + Mallory as that would be fan service (what in an AVN isn't?), but how was the Amanda + Mallory trouple constructed? with no premise, they are very close friends so they clearly have no problem having a relationship with the same man, who only one of the 2 knows well, but the other is her best friend so it could only end up that way, so natural and realistic.
With no real premise about the relationship (or does Amanda secretly touching MC's dick count as a premise?) and no particular consequences.

As much as I want to agree that this is the case for 99% of women, I'm also 100% sure that there are more women willing to have a throuple than there are women who want to fuck their brother or their biological/genetical son. Don't get to pick and choose whichever porn fantasy suits you if that's your trouble.
