I've found a post explaining why it is that:There is no way a real person would think that splitting up two different characters into two different paths would change how patreon views the game because all those characters are still in the game either way. It literally doesn't change anything that patreon would care about, in any way. That's just nonsense of the highest order.
So all I'm hearing is a whole lot of hot air, whole lot of nothing. Still no reason that those characters would have to be split up into different paths.

So yeah, I too believe that the reasoning that led to the mutual exclusivity path is total bullshit
