Forums - Gaming Discussion - Peter Molyneux: “I haven’t got a reputation in this industry any more”

Pretty brutal interview, RPS was being quite rude to him but at the same time Pete has really failed to deliver all those promises throughout his career. So I'm not even sure what to think of this interview.

*Sigh* People complain frequently about how the gaming media is paid off and frequently panders to developers. Then, when someone takes a major industry figure to task for making promises (and accepting money) for things they can't deliver, people say that he's being too mean?

I can't help but agree



Brutal interview but Molyneux had it coming.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

yeah he's a bastard, but this interview... I hate when people think they can humiliate someone just because.

You dont have to like Peter, i dont mind, but that was just simply disrespectful of the interviewer.


Fuck that interviewer.



I liked fable 1 and 2 and Peter delivered on those games, what I liked about peter is that he tried new things, they didn't always work. Just look at his games and what they reviewed at. That interviewer is a joke



old skool

ive heard about this interview yesterday, a lot of people thought it was disrespectful and just by reading the first question i can understand why...

It's not a great first question. But it's not entirely unwarranted, either. Some of this stuff is just incredible.

Peter Molyneux: Again you’re going down a very emotional line. But it’s born out of– when I did Curiosity and I thought of putting into the center of the cube a royalty share of the revenue for Godus, as soon as his role of God of Gods started, I thought that was a pretty good thing. And as soon as that comes to pass and as soon as we’ve got the technology to do that, I think, he will be getting that money and his reign will last six months and I think it will be an amazing feature.

RPS: OK, so you said that Bryan will be God Of Gods for six months. Just to double-check on this. When we spoke to you on 2012 you told us that it would be a significant amount of time, you estimated five or ten years.

Peter Molyneux: We what?

RPS: You said five or ten years, is what you told us.

Peter Molyneux: For what?

RPS: For being God Of Gods.

Peter Molyneux: No, I’ve always said that his reign would only last a certain amount of time but the God of Gods role, if Godus continues to be as successful as it is on mobile, could last that long. I mean there are mobile games that are being played now – and there are webgames that are being played now – that are decades old.

RPS: Let me quote, you said: “By the way, there would need to be enough time to make it meaningful for him in every sense of the word, but we could make it five years, we could make it ten years. I think I wanted before–”

Peter Molyneux: And then later on I came out and said it would be six months. And I said that again and again. What are you trying to do? You’re trying to prove that I’m a pathological liar, I suppose, aren’t you.

RPS: I’m trying to establish that you don’t tell the truth.



This interview is so well deserved. He stole from people. He is trying to justify that in some weird way in this interview. And he has more than just a small history of making huge promises and then delivering almost nothing. Seven months? Come on. Nobody in the world believed that when he said it. What he was proposing seemed like it would take years to produce and what do you know...

If he was a better person, then an interview like this would not be necessary but lets be completely honest, this is necessary for our industry. People that act the way he has should be held accountable and not get their dick sucked. He should be run from thee industry for a while, maybe it will humble him.
