Completly disagree with you on that. IMO the problem with Glamour isn't, and never was the absence of an antagonist, much less one as pathetic as Eric. The problem with Glamour has always been Dark Silver's completly uninspired story telling and inability to create simple erotic moments or sex scenes with more than just two frames.
But i agree that people get so worked up on the conflict Max/Eric that the whole fun of seducing the girls almost seems to get tossed into the background over this stupid cock fight.
Aleksey has been doing a pretty good job adapting the original game with his own twist on things and to be honest, i'm looking forward to what comes next.
