No offence, but the ones crying about Eric in the original game were the ones who wanted him gone. The reason why I didn't like Eric gone wasn't because I wanted him there, but because the extra factor, that made it different from any other incest game, was gone and instead of stealing women away from the villain, it became the same like any other game, but with a crappier storyline. And even then, I never cried about it, I moved on, and just occasionally came back to see it slowly devolve in a dumb game, without the MC having any control over anything (which also was supposed to be a major factor in this game). Max went from a guy, determined to take the control over his family away from the big bad villain, to a guy who just acted out his aunt's plan.
