Okay, need to set the record straight regarding this Peter Molynuex business. I may have overreacted just a tad when I dissed the prototype video for Molyneux's Godus project. On the other hand, I still cling to the sentiment that such videos are useless if you're not gonna provide further explanation or show at least something concrete. When you release a video and slap a big label that says: "Hey, this is something new from the guy who made Black & White, Fable and Syndicate." So, yeah, I know it requires the usual marketing bullshit, but that's just what people want and people are asshats. I'm an asshat sometimes.

Also, I don't know if Microsoft is to blame for fucking up Fable or Peter. I'm guessing MS wanted to continue the franchise in the direction it was going and Peter wanted to incorporate something "different" and that's where things went pair-shaped. Of course, it may be Peter's fault entirely. Who the hell knows... It doesn't matter. What matters is that games like Fable are becoming relics of a by-gone era and now the industry's becoming crammed with over-ambitious user-funded projects and it may still be a while before history shows that Kickstarter is a good way to develop games. It may be easier for small devs to fund their projects, without publishers ever having to meddle in the creative process. That's what we're all hoping.

Just realized I willingly calling myself an asshat. Happy now?
