Sorry for lying for profit

It just means we're in the lull between games. Molyneux always does this.

• Hype new game
• Game comes out and cannot possibly live up to the hype
• Apologize for overhyping game < You are here
• Start developing new game

Is it possible he is overhyping his regret?

I fell for his Populous reboot flop, Godus. Haven't trusted a word from him since.

Ironic. If he could stay away from interviews and just let someone else PR for him he'd be remembered as a legend of the gaming industry. Bullfrog and Lionhead put out quite a lot of bangers for their time.

But he does like talking too much. Shame.

He kickstartered a PC game and made a mobile microtransaction PoS for a Chinese phone game scammer with the money.

Seems too little, too late. I’ll never forget the showcasing of “Milo” for Kinect which seems almost undoable even today.

"But I promise that you're going to be blown away by the promising I'll be doing in the future. My promising will be authentic, intuitive, life-like and indistinguishable from the real thing. This is promising like you've never experienced before, and these are promises they will still sound assuring twenty years after they're made. I'm so proud of the team for the work they've done on this and I've promised them a pay rise, holiday in Bora Bora and a blowjob from a $10000-a-night hooker with a mouthful of warm honey. That's the kind of promises I'm talking about, promises that will change the way we think about promises and, if you have a moment, I'd like to make you some promises too..."

Why does he keep doing it then?

need more games like black and white.

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.

Loved the RPS interview with him. Went all out to confront him.
