    The guy has been a con artist for decades, and he hasn’t made a playable game since the 1990s. He also hasn’t “over-promised his games”, as the title of the article so cutely claims. Rather, he has lied through his fucking teeth to steal money from people, over and over and over again, and lied some more to steal more money, and lied some more, and lied some more. I’m sick to death of these pathetic redemption pieces for this no-talent loser. He’s a thief and a liar, nothing more. He’s not a genius. He’s not a creative maelstrom that needs to be reined in. He’s just a fucking liar and a thief, same as Elon Musk, same as everyone else who has tried to sell this particular brand of con artistry over the years.

      I’m always one for dramatic over-exaggeration but the Fable games are perfectly playable

      I mean, you can blame him for a lot of stuff but he designed quite a few iconic games. Most game designers will spend a lifetime and not achieve just what molineux achieved in the 90s.
