In AWWJ 3, It was rvevealed that Thomas was the killer all along, But in AWWJ 1-2, It was built up that Nate was the killer, But why?

Well, This might be a bit of a stretch, But i think i found out why...

Thomas straight up FORCED Nate to brutally kill the kids or he would murder him...

Now this could seem weird, But look at the evidence:

Like i said, It was built up that Nate was the killer in the first 2 games, But then it was revealed to be Thomas in AWWJ 3, Now this could just mean Jav only decided to not make Nate the killer recently to shock us, But that would controdict things (Well, Unless the AWWJ 1 and 2 updates change the dialouge).

And once again, Evil Javier thought NATE was the killer when he wasn't! It could just mean he only found out Thomas was the killer after AWWJ 1, But i think otherwise.

So what if after getting fired, Thomas decided to force Nate to kill 7 kids or he would brutally kill him, And maybe that's why EJ and Frank thought Nate was a killer.

But hey! That's just a theory! A GAME THEORY-

(EDIT:Turns out i got a bit confused with the lore when making this, Read the pinned comment)
