Why would it be a cuck remake if the guy literally just said the dev is focusing on all paths in this game not just max and the girls. If anything thats great because Dark Silver got rid of Eric and in my opinion thats what killed his game, it just became a boring day grindfest, atleast with Eric flushed out more and interacting with the story and girls more the game with still have life in it down the road and have multiple paths attracts more players.
I think the question should be How could it be a cuck remake? (Yes, I'm being pedantic)
Ann's husband is ex and Max can never marry her.
Oh I suppose Eric could marry her and Max could turn him into a cuck. I wonder how the general population would react to that one. Do the people that hate cuckolding/NTR only hate it if it's the MC or if it happens to anyone. And what about Eric screwing Kira and the girls behind Ann's back, do they hate that?
Sorry I digress...
Other than that I think it will help the story to have a more detailed Eric but hope Alexsey doesn't make people jump through hoops to get whichever path they want, that's just as frustrating as grindfests.
