| badgenome said: Yeah, I think the interviewer was too intent on playing gotcha for his own good. Peter doesn't seem like he intentionally tells lies. But it does seem like his word means nothing to him. I don't lightly tell or even suggest to people that I'm going to do things because then I feel compelled to follow through on it, even if no promise was made, so it rubs me the wrong way that Molyneux does this habitually. I think we all understand that things change in game development (well, most of us do... the interviewer couldn't seem to grasp that someone can't know exactly how long a game will take to make), but he constantly betrays expectations that he himself has set without even bothering to explain why it was necessary let alone apologize for it until he's in the middle of yet another media firestorm. |
I'd say Peter is like a small child when doing games; and when asked about it, he fantasises over things that won't be able to become, unintentionally, because he's enjoying the ride way too much.
