I had to rewind the video when he said it was set in a region called Oak Ridge.

I live like 10 minutes from there.

the crypto scam game failed as not even crypto bros trust him

Molyneux may be full of shit but I still sank thousands of hours into black and white. God I loved that game.

This game sadly looks two decades old already.

He's been completely full of shit his entire career, the games he made that were awesome I'm convinced we're awesome in spite of his involvement rather than because.

Even when he reliably put out good games people would call him out for his bullshit and over promising.

Can you imagine being one of the engineers on one of his projects?

Dev: hey boss, here's a prototype for the morality system. Basically there's a sliding scale of good/bad and if you put points into "bad" then eventually the buildings wll get spiky and dark looking.
Molyneux: so what you're saying is that the player is free to make any choice they desire, and the entire environment will warp and change based on their decisions?
Dev: Well not really like that, it's more just like, you kill a civilian and the building gets dar-
Molyneux: all of reality warping around your consciousness
Dev: no, not that at all
Molyneux: imagine, all of the future in this game world unfolding freely from existential thought? Entire civilisations changing due to your unspoken desires?

Huh, I didn't know he did those other games. Like UnholyMudcrab, I hadn't heard anything about him since Lionhead closed.

I'm still interested in Masters of Albion though. Despite his bullshit, Black and White was fun, as were the Fable games. Definitely not preordering anything he's involved with though

Hence the 'he'. Of course the heads of studios are rarely involved with actually making it but most will still call them 'their' games.

Trying using your eyes before throwing a tantrum. Many of the games he was involved in were fun. Many people will have fond memories of Fable.

I put about 100 hours into one of the earlier builds. So it was fun for a time, until then they started changing/breaking mechanics. Then they just flat out abandoned it.
