So his answer to these concerns is to force an attraction between these two? That would actually be funny if it weren't so sad (and bad). Looks like he's not even trying to hide that he doesn't give a shit about Kate's story anymore. Honestly it would make more sense if an alien lifeform possessed her.
Still, this is hardly a surprise and I made my peace (as in stop playing) with this game turning into BB 2. I still feel bad for the patrons who supported this game for months or years though. It's like watching (and paying) for a football game and at halftime they start playing basketball.
Edit: The last sentence (of the quote) actually makes it worse. It's not like there have been any alternatives to Max in the last couple of months. So you either have Max or no content at all.
