I can see your point here, but i respectfully disagree. Not about the importance of focus but on the scarce relevance of this detour. Yes, it felt like a silly side story and it's perfectly understandable to feel frustrated by the overall pace of the releases, but this last release, albeit rather silly in the form, introduced us to some element that i'm sure will play a role later, at least in Angel's route.
Yes, if it was a 2 hours worth of playtime update and the stripclub sequence was just a part of it it would have been easier to digest, but it wasn't a mistep per se.
We know Carbon Blue had a rather complex year behind and let's see what future brings. We are not in Game of Thrones territory here, where Martin is writing spin offs and he doesn't give a fuck of the next instalment of ASoIaF anymore.
