Only a cursory search got me a post of yours:

Still thinking about doing something or not at the time, to me sounds like reasonable probability.
Now I'm not going to search for more which I think I could, because I have made my peace from the first time I played this game that Nicole was a side show. I even got pleasantly surprised when she got more than one scene and great ones too. There really isn't anything to read to read between any line, it's always been very clear.
But something being clear doesn't mean it can't change btw. Emma had a very clear decision of being a side show, a baddie maybe even, then she was going to be given an ending, then it was said (rumored?) it was canned. The dev disappeared forever and then came out with that update after months.
Now you've not included me in those who cannot take it and you're right, I've actually stopped following the thread. But I'm just pointing out that no quote can be used to guarantee knowledge. Anyone can change their mind.
Oh and also, do we have that epilogue where the MC doesn't choose any LI as mentioned by the dev in that quote?..
