Ah, so that's why Magneto...wait, family? What? Who?

Yes, it appears that, in the decade or so since the events of Days of Future Past, Eric actually managed to settle down and start a family of his own. And then they were killed.

Aside from that line of dialogue, we also get a shot of what looks like Eric with his son, and it becomes clear that whatever happened to them is the driving force behind his choosing to side with Apocalypse - and it's probably not far off to say humans were responsible for it. If he'd managed to put his past behind him and start a new life, and yet now we find him wanting to destroy the world, then this seems like the logical conclusion.
