It was better to you without him. To me it killed the game and just made it a boring vanilla self insert like so many others. Remove Eric and you remove any point to "game" mechanics in this game. Since it's not like it's some deep story driven game where you work to get one or the other. You seem to have forgotten the original game died btw. Just so happens it was after Eric was removed. Coincidnence? Maybe... maybe not. Who can know in the end :sneaky:

Exactly. In games, just like in real life, if there are no stakes - it's boring. No opposition, no thrill, just easy and predictable path forward that you can't possibly fuck up.

The original game isn't dead. It has been remade as part of Glamour, still by darksilver. It also doesn't have eric in it, so whether you like him or not (I was not a fan) the original dev didn't port him into the remake.

1. NTR Lovers (fuck you Eric) is and was the minority back on the original and on this one.
2. The game almost died as patreons demanded (not asked or suggested) that eric is taken out of the game and when DS didn't assure anyone he will add the option to get rid of the guy the pledges dropped faster than a cold beer in summer.
3. The game didn't die because Eric was removed (quite the opposite the numbers of patreons and pledges skyrocketed after that) but because Patreon told DS very aggressive that he either stops promoting, developing or advertising Big Brother or they ban him from Patreon.

So you know now in the end.

PS: Facepalm all you want i was a patreon on BB back then and at no point in time where the NTR ppl in the majority nor was the game abandoned in any way shape or form. It was Patreon who clearly stated that DS either stops promoting BB on patreon regardless if the relations of the characters got changed or not. Either he gets rid of BB or they get rid of him was the demand by patreon.

What's with all the people still complaining about Eric? It's getting really pathetic. "There's so much Eric in the changelog, wah wah wah". You asked for a way to get rid of him and the dev has delivered, what more do you want?

Wrong game you talking about the original that option is not in this one yet.

Shit the last time it raised a huge stink Darksilver had to create the option to get rid of him. originally he was going to always be there. Honestly why make a 1:1 remake of a game when you could do better by listening to its core fanbase and fix the core problems the game had. Eric wasn't neccessary and the original games ability to get rid of him proved that point, as the game was better without his existence.

Exactly! As I stated at one point a couple of months ago, Eric isn't the one that drives Max to have sex with his family. That person would effectively be his aunt Kira who enjoys teasing Max. The real challenge for the rest of the game is to get his family to have sex with Max. Eric is just there for all the NTR people who enjoy seeing their loves ones get fuck by strangers while enjoy getting it rubbed in their faces.

Eric isn't needed.

Not completely. To trigger some story elements, Max must see some specific scenes.
But the goal IS to get rid of Eric, then a new story arc will start - at least it was like that in the original game. This new version has not reached that point yet.

The devs seem to love getting their faces slapped real hard by Eric's dick for some reason. A year or so ago, they stated they were going to allow players to remove Eric "soon" but that obviously hasn't happen yet.

stop fucking arguing about Eric...

It's fucking obvious HALF the players wants Eric, because He's fucking important villain that every good fucking story needs.
Half players want simple bedtime story, thus Eric out.

You watched Game of Thrones? Liked Joffrey? No? THAT'S THE POINT OF GOOD VILLAINS.
With Eric shadow over your shoulder you've replayability and consequence, without it's mindless grind (aka biggest sin of games).. for fuck sake.

Uh no, the dev stopped because Patreon wasn't allowing anything involving incest anymore. It caused a lot of problems for DS including every dev whose games included incest. Incest games were the most popular those days second only to trainers and with Patreon not allowing incest, many devs either stopped making incest games or made incest patches. It was one and still is one of Patreon's worst decisions ever made.

Have you seen or played Three Kingdoms? You don't need a villain to make a good story. A good plot can already do that.

A story without Eric, at least as was written in the original game, is boring/uninteresting.
Eric exists to create the drama in it, to be the antagonist which the mc has to compete against for the control of his family. Without Eric there is no tension, no stakes. Which is why it was bad, from a story perspective, that he was rid of so unceremoniously from the original game, and in the act killed the story.
