he actually did, the whole family porn plot was because Ann lost her job after Eric was gone, Max had to start paying every week to keep the family afloatOne mistake I thought DS made in the original after you get rid of Eric was that he didn't replace that opponent with something else for Max to struggle against. It doesn't have to be another rival with NTR potential. It doesn't even have to be a person. It could be something like a landlord who raises the rent dramatically so they get kicked out of the house if they don't pay X amount per month or whatever. So money becomes the new opponent, in fact that's the most obvious option to me although there are plenty of other options.
The key for me is that there is something or someone for Max to struggle against. Otherwise he's just sort of screwing around like you do in The Sims. I actually liked The Sims except that without any sort of goal I quickly got bored. I think almost every story is better with an adversary of some sort in it for the protagonist to struggle against, whether that's an actual person or just something as simple as a monthly rent payment or a time deadline.
but obviously the player had more money at the time already because of extra cameras, it didn't feel like a huge hurdle as Eric was. Eric started fucking Max life when he was broke so it was way harder to deal with and at times it would feel like a enormous grind just to pay that motherfucker and save money for extra cameras, gifts and lessons
