>However, looking at how Chloe and Max’s relationship ended, it makes you wonder was it worth it
Deck Nine is not canon, they pulled a lot of inconsistencies and retcons to make that breakup work out.

But with Dontnod, much like for LiS2 and the way it handle the endings, if you choose to save Chloe, both the two girls move along together despite the trauma. They visit New York and other cities, rebound their relationship with David as both him and Chloe have changed a lot from the toxic persons they used to be. Its bittersweet but hopeful, and regardless if is love or friendship Max and Chloe endure with each other.
