Well, everyone knows I hate Eric character. He is always on the player's nerves.
But Eric's presence in the game means a challenge. A challenge that makes the game more dynamic and gives the player a double incentive to do hard work in the game.
This challenge is acceptable as long as Eric and his plans can be completely stopped in at least one of the game paths. In such a way that the player does not face NTR in this path. And this prevention of Eric should be as if the cat is playing with his food. It is clear that in this case, the player can not do much about Ann. So at some point in the game, it is certain to get rid of Eric.
The fact that Eric is in the game from the beginning is something that the player will somehow cope with in the hope that the player will get rid of him at some point in the game. But the fact that the game is made and Eric suddenly wants to enter the game is something that most players will definitely oppose. Unless the player wants to play NTR 100%.
Maybe Eric's presence in the game from the beginning and dealing with him is more acceptable for some players than getting rid of him and engaging in challenges with other nonsensical characters such as Camera Man and Alex, etc.( Original version)
I have - was it 2017/2018? - played BB. We had countless discussions about/with Eric. There were arguments, insults in Patreon about the sense and nonsense of Eric as a character.
And also in the interaction with Ann. Because she didn't do anything about him, even though she found out he was ambushing Alice at night and jerking off. She had confessed to him anyway - and incomprehensibly to all of us. That was so unbelievable. This sex ed with Lisa was also incomprehensible to many of us. How can a mother give her daughter sex lessons with a stranger?
There were long discussions which then led to DS deciding to get rid of him. I think it is the most hated/discussed character in a game. From then on, the name "Eric" was always associated with a bad game character.
I think Eric only works in a game if you're into "NTR" or like in BB AS, that you have the ability to trick him as a friend. Or just being completely at war with him.
But how does Aleksey90 want to solve that? Does he really kick him out? Then it would be interesting to know if it has an impact on his supporters. Therefore also my question does a statistic exist, how many users would like to leave Eric in the game.
