I mean, why would we when Subeles makes a version that needs no patch.Probably because no one bothers with patreon version of the game, requiring said patch.
Point taken, I'm still counting the others against him, especially both Miku incidents, the first of which I forgot to include in my comment before.With Yumi, he was fully aware of what was happening. With Molly, he was fully blacked out. He came to and she was exposed with his cum on her.
And by this time, he's had time to get used to loss-of-control blackouts, as they've started happening fairly often.
So he comes out if it, sees what he sees, and reaches a logical assumption that he fucked her even though it does cross a line for him, and he's confused more than anything else -- and he doesn't really have time to come out of that state of confusioni before Tsuneyo shows up and things get tense.
Considering he was thinking he'd raped Molly up until the point that she told him it didn't hurt like she'd just lost her virginity, yeah, it's safe to assume he wasn't in control. He wasn't even aware of what was happening around him.
Exactly, just because he's doing something that won't clearly lead to sex does not mean that is not his goal. That specific example brings him closer to Yumi, who already showed she doesn't totally hate him anymore during the transition events of Chapter 2 and is clearly being more of a tsundere than a person who actually hates him. By playing the long game, these seemingly minor acts will add up to the point that she comes to him just like all the rest. That's what the long game is all about, minor acts adding up into a big pay off. She may take longer because of the initial hatred from what happened before the game and the Yumi kiss, but she will fall like all the rest, the only difference here is the long game is required, she'd never fall to the short term strategies that may have worked on other girls.I very much agree with the spirit of your post. Sensei isn't the best guy in the world or anything, but he's not as bad as a lot of the posts have painted him. However, I think he understands women well enough to know that sex isn't going to happen with most of them just by being in their proximity. You have to spend time with them, and get to know them, be there for them, for it to become a possibility. So, it is possible that even when sex isn't likely to happen, it's still part of the reason he's doing it - playing the long game.
Edit: There are a lot of other posts in a similar vein to my call out, and people on both sides of whether he does or doesn't plan that far ahead. I'm not sure it's a specific plan per se, as much as it is a general understanding of how people work, and that it's needed to get to his eventual goal.
Another one like this would be Rin due to her very apparent instability, the short term strategies might push her to do something she was already on the brink of, though that isn't guaranteed, while the long game will get her eventually, probably when she runs out of other girls to lock onto if not sooner considering what we've already seen.
