1) Most of these games are really great
2) As with us and our friend, many gamers knew Molyneux for exactly who he is, and thus moderated their expectations accordingly.
- tommica 2y ago#2 is a weak argument, a lot more gamers didn't know him and moderated their expectations based on the marketing
- sheepdestroyer 2y agoOf course, I am not exactly excusing him. But as customer you should also not trust advertisement blindly, especially when it is pie in the sky too good to be true. Most reviews of the time would not miss the opportunity to joke about Molyneux's serial overpromising. It was a running gag before long.
- gklitz 2y ago> I am not exactly excusing him. > But as customer you should also not trust advertisement blindly That’s and excuse for his lies. As a customer you should be able to trust adverticement, that’s why we have laws for adverticements. Blaming people who believe in a scam artists lies for having believed them is madness. The fact that he made games you like doesn’t excuse his blatant lies to investors and customers alike, and you really should listen to yourself and stop making excuses for him.
- squeaky-clean 2y agoI don't think people started really disliking him until Curiosity and Godus. And IMO neither of those are good games. He also promised the winner of Curiosity 1% of all revenue from Godus, then retconned the deal to be 1% of profit after the game failed to become profitable.
- gklitz 2y agoActually it was reconned to 1% of the profit after they implemented a specific feature which they then never implemented. It was just a massive PR scam.
