I'd argue that Molyneux has never gone quite so far as Hello Games did, with the exception of Godus. Still, I'd be surprised if he or Lionhead hasn't been sued in the past for all the shit he's pulled over the years.

Yeah, he never promised anything like trees growing in real time and NPCs spawning off spring or your main character being able to have a child you can then play as if your character died in Fable.  Oh wait...

Molyneux is the original false advertising charlatan. And whereas with Hello Games they seemed over excited and over reaching, Molyneux's behavior is a well documented cycle, a sham he's been running AT LEAST since Black and White.  And while Hello Games has mostly just sat quiet, Molyenux will actively blame others for the problems.  He even tried to say Kickstarter MADE HIM LIE with Godus.  

Peter Molyneux pretty much wrote the book on "overpromising," I agree with you there, but I don't recall him lying up to the day of release, and going out of his way to obfuscate the fact that the game that released was not the one he promised. I also don't think he ever went so far as to try to hide and silence those who ended up getting access to the game early, for fear that he'd be caught in his lies before the trap was sprung on his unsuspecting customers.

But then, I wasn't around for Fable 1's lauch. (I was 10 years old, and a gamecube user.)
