I no longer dislike Peter Molyneux because of this.

I'm pretty sure you've never like Peter

i don't like him for other things,  like hype games to oblivion and then breaking a lot of promised featured.

He hasn't made a promise really since the original Black And White got caned.  He is willing to talk to developers extremely early in development unlike the majority of his peers.  From time to time in his enthusiasm he mentions things he wants to implement, that is not a promise a feature will ever make the cut.  I'd rather the developer talks to gamers about what they do and plan than go all secretive and virally releasing info to the sources who pay most or agree to paint them in the best light.

This is just a bandwagon excuse people jump on because they don't bother to actually read his interviews properly, they just see a headline and assume he's hype something without taking the quote in full context.  Put simply journalists love a soundbyte from him and don't care if it's misconstrued if they get their hits.

 

no i am not making excuses , i've been following his interviews (video ones too) and demos for quite awhile, he used to be less vocal until he made the fable series, now he talks about every simple feature like its a heavenly gift to video games and in the end its very shallow, and gimmicky
