Alice was not totally submissive, true, I always forget about your girlfriend and that lesbian content, but anyway, she pretty much accepted almost anything Max asked.
In BB, that was through Kate, and money to Alice's cam-shows that Max had been secretly setting things up with through an anonymous account.
I find it very difficult to happen, DS create another male NPC that has Eric characteristics or similar.
Already has. Go play as Kate, and you'll find them easily.
With the plans for Max to (eventually) attend the same college as Kate, those characters could easily be used in a similar role to Eric, but restricted to college things only.
There are two types of developers, those trying to create their story/script and those who cannot create their story/script. Many end up paying attention to their patrons and let it interfere with your dramaturgy.
Indeed, and DS is certainly the latter of the two.
Eric was a terrible character, that's why many hate him. It was very poorly developed, as well as other characters in the house. He should be the center of tension, the crank that makes the valve turn, but what does he do? a character without charisma for villain. Another problem with this is that there are many who don't like "NTR" or just seeing a share, are adults who cry for nothing, seems to me to be a sulky teenager. If you look at BBAS, you will see that those people have the same thought, "I don't want to see Eric in the game". I always gave the idea that Eric would be a wolf, whoever arrives at the house greets everyone, give compliments and watches Max. He sees how Max looks at his sisters, mother, and tries to make small talk trying to trick Max to become your "buddy". If Max chooses to be your friend, Eric will give him some benefits, for example, letting Max watch Eric fuck Ann and then have Max participate in hiding using a blindfold on Ann. But if Max wants to be your enemy, he will have to fight for his sisters and family, but if he is a friend, Max will also try to deceive Eric until the time comes that he will betray Eric and get rid of him. Anyway, unfortunately people are sensitive to NTR, even if it's part of the dramaturgy.
The biggest problem with Eric, wasn't that he was fucking Anne and trying to do the same with the others too, it's that he (the plot elements surrounding him and the game-mechanics relating to his presence when visiting) was so ham-fisted in their implementation that even patrons wanted him gone.
He abandoned the game but I don't remember the citation of cameras. As a matter of fact, yes, there was. But he just tells Kira about his plan to make money from the hidden cameras, but I don't think that would lead anywhere or have any splendid content.
IIRC Kira took it as a bad joke on Max's part.
Not even she would have done anything like that, and she wanted the whole family involved with each other. Sexually, and professionally through her porn business.
Kira should be an important character in the narrative or maybe have a better script. Of course she has the role of taking care of Max, but she also has her perversive spirit. She's not a cheap bitch, she just likes having sex (nymphomaniac). But really in the old BB it had a little bad development, to say she was dumb, I don't know.
It wasn't just her though. It was everyone else in the house who wasn't Max.
When Max catches Eric peeping on Alice, Anne absolutely refuses to believe him, despite having not known Eric for anywhere believably long enough, especially when presented with a picture of Eric doing it.
Eric and Anne giving Lisa sex-ed, and Lisa sees nothing wrong at all with a relative stranger being involved in explaining sexual education to her.
Alice is clearly aware of Eric trying to get into her pants, but never says anything.
Lastly, Kira, the smartest and most cunning/devious of all of them, who had to prompt and direct Max in how to go about things, didn't even have the common sense to ask how Eric could've had a recording of her taking Max's virginity in Anne's bed, and was apparently such a sex addict that she never repeated things with Max that wasn't Lisa's training, instead she's also falling under Eric's "spell", because sex...
Again, the characters became wholly inconsistent and illogical whenever Eric was involved, because DS barely had a plan for how to implement Eric, beyond "
Eric want fuck family, take house, send Max to Military School".
Turns out Eric would have to be the valve of the story, where in the course it becomes a tyrant. He behaves like a gentleman but he's a cad, so when he sees Kira, he'll try to fuck her, but how will he do it? simple, false accusation.
Except it wasn't false.
He had the video footage of her and Max having sex in Anne's bed, because Max was a dumbass who linked the one camera that was already there, into his scummy money-making scheme, which provided Eric with the means to find the site, and get the video.
True, I fully agree. Ever since what happened in BB, it seems like he's been traumatized by making his own choices. But it wasn't just the "NTR" that the whiners were complaining about, it was Eric's poor development in the game that was to blame.
I bet some have tried to sabotage Kate's story by not liking to play with FMC.
Not traumatised, too lazy.
Glamour (before BB remake) was going with the same premise (as a remake) as the game he abandoned before BB - Glamour.
Which had ridiculously little content in the same time span it took for the earliest versions of BB to be released, until the last one released. Kate hadn't even begun to have sex in that amount of time.
There were certainly plenty who didn't want to play as a FMC, but more were turned away from the pretty invasive nature of playing Glamour - Online only, with a Patreon account to download updates and saves stored on DS's server. That's EA levels of bull-shittery, and for a porn game of all things.
Femdom content. There are women who like to be dominated, like to be spanked, like to be tied up and fucked with sex games. There are others who are the opposite, who like to make men submit to them, as is the case with Alice. But, Alice in the old BB seemed to be bipolar, she liked to boss, but at the same time likes to obey. But at the beginning of BB she didn't seem to be a lesbian, just an annoying big sister, DS made her a lesbian because her fans clamored for him to remove Eric from the game. I think that way and really if you look maybe you'll notice that too.
Alice wasn't a lesbian in BB. She was bisexual before removing Eric was even hinted at, and literally nothing to do with femdom.
Her girlfriend Kate, was the lesbian... Who magically wasn't a lesbian any more, after seeing "Max and the Magic Dick", and was one of the paths for getting rid of Eric, via her mother.
You forgot that a lot of games out there are adding "shemale" content. But you're right, but I wouldn't be surprised if the DS does either.
No, a lot of games are not "adding" futa/trans. There's a lot that were designed around having them, just like all those games that focus around sissification of the Player Character - because there's a market for them.
Outside of the weirdo virtue-signal twits, there's not a huge demand for "shemale" porn. It's still pretty niche by comparison to most other genres.
Suddenly adding that kind of thing would be
all the nails in DS's patreon coffin. A sure-fire way to end practically all support for him.
I don't doubt there are some who play this game that also play trans/futa related games/stories, but they're not the majority of fans/patrons/players.
