I see you are smart guy so you will undarstand what i want to say.There is no good Eric, Aleksey said that soon Eric's true intentions will be known. Also there will be porn movies in game. I can't see that happening with Eric in the game. At some point it's Max are Eric, one way is game over, I'll go the other way.
First of all Eric true intentions doesnt have to be scam and taking house or whatever he was in original, this is new story or what name says another story so if aleksey want it could be just guy who wants to fuck everyone which is not so much different from Max except max want incest.
So point is if Aleksey doesnt make Eric scammer and thief he is just asshole who wants to fuck everyone and for that he cant be so much hated and blamed.
