Someone with a better memory than me... (Mild Spoilers for Mac's route)
Do you remember if Mac deleting your bloatware instead of your fanfic was in the first release of the game?
I was doing some research for a think piece I was writing and made the discovery that at least one part of Mac's route was altered between the first release and one of the updates. In the junction where Mac suggests that you both have an open relationship, an additional option that says "No problem - I have tons of lovers" was added at some point.

So now, I want to know if the bloatware dialogue was also added retroactively.
I recall a while back in one of the Mac debate posts that someone noted that even when choosing this option, Mac will still refer to deleting your fanfic later, which makes it sound like their route wasn't written with this option in mind. Additionally, to even get this option, you have to deny Mac from deleting the fanfic first, so it's a bit hidden.
The bloatware dialogue is included in a compilation of their voice lines, but it was uploaded after the update would have happened, so I can't consider it conclusive proof that it was in the game from the beginning.
I'm not looking to speculate on why these changes would have been made at this time; I just want to confirm if this is one of the changes or if it was there from the beginning.
As a note: if you've always had the "No problem" line, then you were already playing on an updated version of the game. I need someone who remembers playing a version without that line, but also got the bloatware dialogue. Or even if you remember whether it was an option when denying them from deleting your fanfic.
