If Peter Molyneux had a time machine to remake his cursed cube game, 'what you would give, now, would be a cryptocurrency thing'

  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 pretty good. I would say those earlier games were influental to the whole industry, but only if Molyneux dropped dead around 2012. He lived too long to became a joke instead of a legend.

  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.

    That game was never released, and they entirely ignored the “cube” game winner for years.
