Is this dude the biggest snake oil salesman in gaming?
I guess Fable was alright, but everything Peter promises seems to never manifest.
He did some revolutionary things back then, Populous, Dungeon Keeper, Theme Park and Black & White were truly great games.
I would say those earlier games were influental to the whole industry, but only if Molyneux dropped dead around 2012. He missed the chance to remembered as a legend by living too long to become the arse of the joke.
Chris Roberts isn’t too far of, but Molyneux certainly takes the crown.
Aah Peter, that fucking lying hype cunt!
I cant remember what the letdown actually was that you got but getting cryptoscammed woud be even worse in any case, so thank goodness time traveling isn’t possible.
The “win” was to become the first god king in his next actual game, which let players compete/pay in a shared world for nobility/etc. The hook was that if you were god king, you got a cut of the money the game made.
That game was never released with the above feature, and they entirely ignored the “cube” game winner for years after the initial PR blitz. He got nothing at all besides some merch and a trip to their office. Eurogamer wrote a great piece about it years ago.
Calling a 3D scratch lottery ticket a game is beyond ridiculous. Remember this pathological liar started his gaming career by committing fraud.
