Sorry for lying for profit
Is it possible he is overhyping his regret?
I fell for his Populous reboot flop, Godus. Haven’t trusted a word from him since.
Honestly I don’t trust any game info that comes from creators anymore since cyberpunk. Until I see a review video I take everything with a massive grain of salt.
Seems too little, too late. I’ll never forget the showcasing of “Milo” for Kinect which seems almost undoable even today.
He kickstartered a PC game and made a mobile microtransaction PoS for a Chinese phone game scammer with the money.
Being able to say this out loud is a big step. +1 emotional maturity. +1 admitting he’s got a problem.
I’ll not deny that he has passion, but someone really should have reigned him in. It only hurt the game when it inevitably never delivered. Who comes up with game features on the spot to the media? No respect for the people who actually have to make the game, sheesh.
The last time someone reigned him in, we got Spore.
Peter Molyneux didn’t work on Spore, that was Will Wright.
Frankly, I’m offended by the comparison on Will Wright’s behalf.
Wait seriously?
need more games like black and white.
Just make B&W multiplayer work instead of desync and I’m cool.
Loved the RPS interview with him. Went all out to confront him.
The People Make Games interview is interesting too
The guy has been a con artist for decades, and he hasn’t made a playable game since the 1990s. He also hasn’t “over-promised his games”, as the title of the article so cutely claims. Rather, he has lied through his fucking teeth to steal money from people, over and over and over again, and lied some more to steal more money, and lied some more, and lied some more. I’m sick to death of these pathetic redemption pieces for this no-talent loser. He’s a thief and a liar, nothing more. He’s not a genius. He’s not a creative maelstrom that needs to be reined in. He’s just a fucking liar and a thief, same as Elon Musk, same as everyone else who has tried to sell this particular brand of con artistry over the years.
I mean, you can blame him for a lot of stuff but he designed quite a few iconic games. Most game designers will spend a lifetime and not achieve just what molineux achieved in the 90s.
