Daily reminder that Peter Molyneux is a pathological liar whose only accomplishment has been giving us one of the most brutally accurate piece of gaming journalism to date.

“I don’t think I’ve ever knowingly lied”
And this is how you immediately tell everybody you’re a liar.

I wonder if he is trying to target younger and more casual gamers; people who don’t know that he is a liar and a scammer.

So, as someone who got hyped because he is the man behind Black & White and Fable. What am I missing?

The rest of his portfolio.

Back then, I think he has someone telling him “no” and filling out the rest of the game with sensible stuff.
Now, he just throws ideas at the wall (see en.wikipedia.org/…/Curiosity:_What's_Inside_the_C… ) and sees what sticks. Since he went on his own, he hasn’t fully delivered a single game, and the ideas are wacky at best and horrible at worst.
And unlike Hello Games, when Molyneux overpromises, he doesn’t spend years implementing every promised feature.
BTW, the exaggeration goes all the way back to Fable, the launch of which was plagued by lies that Molyneux and his team told about the state of the game and the features it would have. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t a great game, just that it wasn’t what he promised.

Only the last 2 words of that headline matter

We’ll be lucky if he delivers one of those other words.

“Peter Molyneux delivers God”

I’d say the first three words matter as well — as in, what should you not get hyped about.

I’m curious why people assume PM is incapable of delivering on promises. Like, I know he has a history of overhyping games, but surely he must also have some games where he actually delivered an awesome and complete game, right? Like the first 2 Fable games were pretty amazing.

When a guy proves he’s a conman, you don’t give him a second chance to con you

Because his reputation from acclaimed products (Populous, Black & White, Fable 1) are all on the past and his latest games were nearly 90% cons.
And even his great games are not what he promised. Even there he promised more than he could deliver.
