There’s irony in a Molyneux game that uses belief as a currency, and requires you to wait for it to build, only to see nothing come out of it.

[@CruelestChris]

"Belatedly Becoming An Athiest: The Game."

[@Boogie_the_cat]

And when the belief fails to build up, your Hope attribute declines, you lose your happy thoughts, and Peter Pan falls from the sky. Molyneux accidentally designed the game mechanics that way during a freakish bit of Freudian slip game design that mirrored his own career.

[@remka2000]

And then to have it become a mobile game with random currencies, and then repurpose the engine then... well. The terraforming part is cool.

Isn’t Molyneux working on some NFT scam these days?

[@PippetWhippet]

I genuinely think that a lot of these amazing talents in the industry crash and burn later because part of their talent was working around people who said no to them. Once they are marked as something special, and no-one wants to or can say no to them, that's when they lose their way.

[@jamesduncan6729]

Absolutely agree. Many great ideas came from another idea that someone said no to

[@mistertagomago7974]

I'm not sure that applies to Molyneux. His biggest issue is overpromising which it sounds like hes always had a habit of doing. Correct me if I'm wrong but arent the Fable games well liked in spite of the lies?

[@draconicfeline6177]

Death stranding is this for sure

[@sorchacrabhan5937]

Yeah, it especially worries me when talents are considered "godlike", including Todd Howard and Gaben BC they'll always fall, and people end up having such high expectations ESPECIALLY when they overhype their own games. Todd Howard is a genuinely great example, sure the lies were there but they got worse and worse over time.

[@SneedsterSpeedster]

@@sorchacrabhan5937 Gaben never really lied that much. Maybe you're talking about the company reviews by people who left the company, calling him a "lazy CEO who only plays DoTA", but I don't think those are entirely true. The most he's "lied" about was the release of HL2:E3, but there's evidence that it WAS in development at the time he said that, but was canceled due to how VALVe's structure works.

Guru Larry put out the weirdest goddamned video some years back that was basically defending Molyneux, and attributing all his controversies to whiny fans, like "lol people got so mad because you couldn't plant a tree in Fable!" as if it was the only problem people had with the promises about the game. That was an odd time. I honestly wondered if Larry was getting legal threats from Molyneux or something back then, because it felt so bizarre seeing him suddenly defend someone who was so cruel to the Curiosity winner.

Okay so he legit had a villain origin story with his pet being killed and pushing him towards an extreme ideology.

[@medes5597]

That happened after he was already well known, already known for over promising, already running his own studio. But Peter has multiple villain origins. His dog was shot accidentally by a farmer, his first game sold only one copy and he accidentally deleted it, his studio was named Lionhead after a pet hamster that died suddenly within hours of them officially filing the paperwork for the name, the kinect tech demo Milo that he wanted to become a full game (the woman talking to a little boy game) was rejected by Microsoft partly because it was "incredibly depressing, mostly about a sad lonely boy talking to you while his parents argue in the background" and Moly didn't understand what was depressing when told because he based it off his childhood... It's a wonder Molyneux hasn't killed anyone given the tragedy behind his life, it's absolutely crazy.

This added hours to a typical playthrough. Total slog. Also, the UI overall was bad. The real estate UI is the stuff of nightmares. Repairing homes with gold has never been more tedious. AAAAA Fable 3 was such a squandered opportunity.

Poor Peter M. Having that Tamagatchi was the only way he could experience human emotions. Having it drown in his coffee apparently unhinged him mentally, and his "work" on the Godus project was not with the intention of making a fun game, he was hoping to create the ultimate god-like experience which would allow him to create his own sentient Tamagatchi, which would allow him to be a hermit and spend the rest of his life with his Tamagatchi 2.0, causing him to (hopefully) feel feelings again, and possibly make babies with his creation.

Peter finally got his well deserved video lol

[@Dreadjaws]

Molyneux is a controversial figure for sure, and sometimes you can't help but hate his guts, but if a coworker of mine were to do to me what his did to his Tamagotchi I would turn his face into paste. It's not even about the damn virtual pet, it's about taking property that doesn't belong to him and that the owner very clearly has a lot of appreciation for and destroying it. It's really no different from some asshole crushing your Nintendo 3DS because he can't stand seeing you play Mario Kart all day. Yeah, I wouldn't be creating new game genres; I would be in jail for f**king up that guy beyond recognition.

It makes me very happy to see that a man so full of hot air has finally had his bubble burst so satisfyingly

[@MemoxWasHere]

By the way, I don't know if you noticed but the subtitles are timed incorrectly starting from the bit where Peter Molyneux talks inside that white cube.

[@guywiththebottle]

It was very confusing.

[@Markuskhan]

I liked Fable, although the Illusion Of Choice was a bit annoying. "Do you want to kill this person or spare them? Spare them? Cool, cool. They are leaving the land now so your choice means nothing.

[@dimitriwarchief301]

That sucks

[@boxerblake1]

Dude at least has a soothing voice in the cube video haha. I'll still take the cash. Peter promising a cut in the video should be considered a verbal contract.

[@zeenatkhan1782]

The only life changing thing that could be in the cube is 100 million dollars.

[@kduhtdkzrt]

I can‘t believe people still talk of Black & White and Fable as the shining examples of someones carreer.

4:13 Peter Molyneux grieves, cries and thinks to himself: "How can I profit from this feeling?"

[@CptBladd]

Oh god, I backed Godus, back in the day.

[@MAZGamingUK]

I've been waiting for this one! :D

[@JingDalagan]

8:47 feels like the nth time flashing lights bombarded my eyes in this video alone.

[@TemmieContingenC]

I will miss this game, poor Godus, is on life support with 0 support and cheap sellouts. I used to play this game for ages on Steam and then on my phone, being just short of the backing days of it, now it's just a sham and 22Cans sold it out and moved on a totally different genre, which from what I hear is scummy Chinese markets. The support desk is dead, The PR desk is dead, This game's still up but is just an unfinished shell, devoid of life, fucking sucks

[@KapitanPazur1]

It takes 17 out of 30 minutes to get into even mention of Kickstarter from the title lmao

[@LendriMujina]

Imagine if the person who clicked on that last cube was someone who • Didn't speak English • Was a little kid • Was about to run out of battery • Was a bot • Got bored of the video and closed it So many things that could have gone wrong with that video alone.

[@Kaito-fk6cj]

all I want is a modernized Black & White. Like in the style of how the original played, not the 2nd one.
