    Honestly, I would prefer him to cut back on the ambition and just remaster Magic Carpet I & II. IMO, those were his best games.

    Dude hasn’t released a proper game since 2010, I thought he was ready done.

      He is done with releasing good games, he is not done releasing trash.

        He actually does know how to make good games, but the problems start as soon as he’s put in front of a camera.

        Don’t have him going on TV and talking about the game. In fact make it a term of his employment that is not allowed to mention the game at all in any environment. Just take his phone off and basically. If he was just left alone to develop a game it would be fine. All common sense goes out the window as soon as he’s interviewed.

    Lol, no.

    After the Godus debacle, why would anyone believe a single thing this chode says?

      I mean have you SEEN his latest cash grab? It doesn‘t even need his name attached to reek of failure.

    Good one

    He’ll be back in 3 years promising a new game to try and stay relevant

      B&W2 was meh. I liked the erratic nature of creature behavior in 1, even tho it meant that you had to be more involved. Not punishing your creature for bad behavior was interpreted as encouraging it, which made your buddy in a scheming, little brat and that was funny.

    The fact that he knows that people won’t believe him is hilarious. It means he’s fully aware that he has a problem and has never taken any steps to fix it.

    He wants to rejuvenate his reputation but the time to do that was about 25-30 years ago. If you make one game and you’ve over promised on it, the very next game has to be your redemption, or you go CDPR route and you fix it, you can’t do it decades later.

      A redemption arc this late would’ve had to have been quietly making a great game, no big announcements in advance until it was done or nearly so and playable, and then letting it speak for itself.

      It’s unlikely that Masters of Albion will be his return to form.

      It looks to be largely based on his previous “game”, Legacy, which was a crypto/NFT scam.
