here's some quotes:

>RPS: Do you think that you’re a pathological liar?
>Peter Molyneux: That’s a very…
>RPS: I know it’s a harsh question, but it seems an important question to ask because there do seem to be lots and lots of lies piling up.
>Peter Molyneux: I’m not aware of a single lie, actually. I’m aware of me saying things and because of circumstances often outside of our control those things don’t come to pass, but I don’t think that’s called lying, is it? I don’t think I’ve ever knowingly lied, at all. And if you want to call me on one I’ll talk about it for sure.
>RPS: During the Kickstarter for Godus you stated, regarding that you don’t want to use a publisher stating, “It’ll just be you and our unbridled dedication (no publishers).” And five months later you signed with a publisher.
>Peter Molyneux: Absolutely. And at that time I wish we had raised enough money to not need a publisher.
>RPS: But you got more than you asked–

>>323433479
it wasnt really a meltdown, he got interviewed and the guy asked him all these loaded questions and at one point asked if he was a pathological liar or something
people generally considered the interviewer a dickhead afterthat

>>323433727
might as well quote the whole thing

>Peter Molyneux: We could have gone and we were asked to by publishers to publish the Steam version, but we turned that down. The economics of doing Godus, unfortunately Kickstarter didn’t raise enough money. Now the trouble is with Kickstarter, you don’t really fully know how much money you need and I think most people who do Kickstarter would agree with me here. You have an idea, you think you need this much, but as most people will say with Kickstarter, if you ask for too much money up front because of the rules of Kickstarter, it’s very, very hard to ask for the complete development budget. I think Double Fine have gone back and asked for more money because development is a very, very, it’s a very confusing and bewildering time, and it’s very hard to predict what will happen.
>RPS: Yes, but you know that. You’ve been working in the industry for over thirty years, you know how much money it costs to make a game and you put a specific amount–
>Peter Molyneux: No, I don’t, I disagree John. I have no idea how much money it costs to make a game and anyone that tells you how much it’s going to cost to make a game which is completely a new experience is a fool or a genius.
>RPS: But you have to have enough experience to know the basics of budgeting a videogame, you’ve been doing it for thirty years!
>>323433784
>it wasn't a meltdown
are you high? or just challenged in some way?

>>323433727
This happened at a time when "gaming journalism" was receiving massive criticism for being bought out by devs and praising them. They needed someone they could collectively pound on to show the world that they could still do "legitimate criticism", and they chose Molyneux.

>Peter Molyneux: No, I disagree. See this is where you’re wrong. I think even Hollywood struggles. Lots of films go over budget. I’ll give you an example, I had some repair works done to my house, they went over budget by 50%. I said exactly the same thing. Anything that involves creativity, you may think it should be a defined process, but it’s not. And the reason that it’s not a defined process is that the people who work on it aren’t robots, and you can’t predict whether someone is going to be brilliant and you give them a piece of code to do and they do it in a day, or whether they’re going to take a month to do it, and that’s the problem with creativity. Being creative is a very, very unpredictable force, and you try your best. You try your best to predict these things but very often you can be wrong. And I have been wrong. Every single project I have ever done, and people know this, every single project I have done, I have been wrong about the times. And I’ve been very honest about that. And the only time I have absolutely stuck to my dates was on Fable 3 and I shouldn’t have done that. I should have gone back and asked for more time.
>RPS: I understand budgets can go–
>Peter Molyneux: I’m running a business and god I wish to god that I could predict the time and I can assure you every single person has worked their ass off to try to make this game as quickly and effectively as they possibly can and everybody here is incredibly dedicated and still is. I mean, the Godus team were here at half past eight last night. We try as hard as we can to get things right the first time, to get a feature right the first time, we try to implement things that are going to be effective, but when you’re creating something new it’s almost impossible, John. Here’s the thing: this is what I truly believe. Making a computer game that’s entertaining and that’s incredible and that’s amazing is almost impossible, it’s almost impossible to do.

>People will defend Molyneux saying was targeted in an interview to be accountable for what happened

No fucking shit. RPS asked the questions a 10 year old could with reminding him he's been in the industry for approx 30 years and should know his shit. If you walked away from the interview thinking 'poor poor molyneux' on an other basis than his shitty family life then you're a retard. The interview proved he was patently incompetent compared to his younger days. It happens to lots of devs and it sure as hell happened to Molyneux

inb4 someone pipes up about kicking a dog when it's down or how the interview was an integrity farce despite asking all the questions the entire world wanted to ask

Seriously godus promised to be new Black & White and then fucked me in the ass and killed my dog.

"do you think you are a pathological lier" is a leading question.

Him, and by extension, Roberto Orci need to get off JJ Abrams dick. They are terrible writers holding back a fairly decent filmmaker.

>>323435021

Yeah real pity Molyneux was locked in a room with his mouth taped and was only given a yes button and a no button to push.

>>323435553

Just a video released on teh webs praising the kid for getting to the centre. Molyneux made some self depreciating humor about being 'that guy' who never keeps promises then proceeded to promise the kid who won godhood in Godus and a percentage of the profits.

>>323435553
Sadness.

There was sadness in the middle of the cube, anon.

>Bryan had never heard of Peter Molyneux before. This takes me by surprise at first, but it makes sense. For Bryan, who was born the year the first PlayStation console was released, retro is Tomb Raider and Crash Bandicoot, not Populous and Dungeon Keeper. And while he's into games, he's not a video game fanatic. He'd heard of Fable, he tells me, but never played it.

These people are on /v/ RIGHT NOW.

>>323436041
Bummer.

>>323436148

>There are people who haven't experienced Dungeon Keeper

I cannot imagine such a worthless existence.

>>323433085
>implying he had a meltdown

Would you give Molyneux another chance, if his promises are more realistic this time?

Because that's the heart of the problem. When he came out and said that 22cans is supposed to make 22 games, everyone knew that this would crumble very quickly.
>>323436282
Where is he now then?

>>323436323

Holy shit no. Not ever.

>>323436323
If Molyneux came out with reasonable promises, I would still assume he was wildly overstating his claims and the game would still be worse than "reasonable".

>>323435440
It is a bad way to ask a valid question. It shows an obvious bias and puts the person being interviewed in a defensive position right away rather than encouraging discussion. It makes it even worse if this was really done to show journalistic integrity. Bias is bad no matter which direction you are leaning.

>>323436148

>>323436474

So does Crash Bandicoot. Whoever wrote that line didn't quite think it through.

>>323436673

You don't get it. Every journalist knows that in an interview you're never supposed to ask anything difficult or uncomfortable. Really, he should have had his questions vetted before hand and promised only to pitch easy, feel good questions. Totally unprofessional.

What are you, a first year journalism major? Fuck off lad.

>>323436895
Thanks for outlining the problem with modern journalism.

>>323436472

A leading question is a question which relies on an assumption of prior fact that has not been eatablished in coming to determine a new fact.

Asking him whether he thought of himself as a pathological liar given his propensity to inflated claims is hardly a leading question. In any case even if it was it's an acceptable one given Molyneux' history, the availability of third answers, and the simple fact that if he said 'no' there's next to nothing to extrapolate other than a potential comment by RPS going 'w-well you are!' which would THEN be obvious bias.

RPS is shit. Game journalism is a joke. Yet this is one time where they surprisingly did alright. Broken clock etc etc

>>323437767

>nono bad words

Kek'd

>>323436673
The fact the question was "are you a pathological liar" instead of "do you consider yourself a man of your word", which could then lead into an actually good and interesting interview that has Molyneux directly address his major flaw of overpromising, shows how much contempt the reporter had. This interview is fucking trash, and if you think it was something that needed to happen, you're no better than the sjw's that accuse individuals of rape or discrimination "just to start a conversation. "

>>323437156
>he just comes across as a guy that tries to hard, but only gets so far

It's okay to ask "Why are you a murderer, when the interviewee has ADMITTED he is a murderer or is already convicted beyond reasonable doubt.

If he is not, then that's a fucking loaded question. You show bias. You already show you are convinced that he is a murderer. That's plain bad interviewing.

No, he couldn't have, because he's being accused of being a pathological liar. He says that he considers himself to be a pathological liar, he's admitted guilt and is forthwith branded as a liar (even though he's already considered that, but I digress). He says that he doesn't consider himself to be a pathological liar, well that clearly only shows how deep it goes, because there goes old man Molyneux again, lying his ass off because we all KNOW he's a liar, it's the only reason we asked the question to begin with.

The answer will bring no new information and the only reason they asked a question like that is to pat themselves on the back about how great they are at asking the hard questions before going back to sucking off all the other devs that are actually more important than a washed-up has-been that goes on nothing more than name recognition and even that recognition is more harmful than helpful. Molyneux was nothing but a convenient target that nobody would cry foul about if they really laid into him.

Somebody explain to me what the point of this interview was. Not the question about the liar thing, everything. As far as I can tell, the entire interview is nothing but grilling the fuck out of Molyneux because of the shitheap that was Godus and the Kickstarter inanity. But why? Because everybody was so fucking surprised that a project from Kickstarter, headed by fucking Molyneux of all people, turned out to be a mismanaged shitheap filled with lies and going over budgets?

I'm reading how the RPS interviewer wants to "find the truth", but really, what's the point of the "truth"? We ALL KNOW the "truth"! Molyneux is a lying motherfucker because he's fucked in the head and he mismanaged the project to hell and back! We have years upon years of evidence pointing towards exactly that, this shouldn't have needed to be established! And you weren't going to get the truth out of Molyneux because surprise, he's a fucking liar!

And so the interviewer takes every single possible point he could hammer Molyneux on and just lays into him, over and over and over again, going from point to point but doing nothing but further driving Molyneux even more insane than he already is, because the core message "Molyneux is incompetent and a liar" was already established YEARS ago!

So the only reason I see for this interview to be the way it is is that it was decided that gaming journalism needed to show some teeth, lest they be accused of being nothing but an extended marketing arm for publishers (AKA what they actually are), so they took the easiest possible target to tear into, tore into him and congratulated themselves on a job well done, time to head back and hype up the next fifteen AAA releases.

I just don't get it.

No, he asked, "do you think you're a pathological liar?" Which implies that he is a pathological liar and is questioning whether he sees himself as one or not.

It was a poorly constructed question. A better interview question, that remained just as aggressive, could've been: "Some people out there think you're a pathological liar. Do you have anything to say about that accusation?"

>>323440579
> As far as I can tell, the entire interview is nothing but grilling the fuck out of Molyneux because of the shitheap that was Godus and the Kickstarter inanity. But why?
>because of the shitheap that was Godus and the Kickstarter inanity.

You literally answered your own question, I'm not even going to read the rest of your bullshit after that.

Molyneux is a hack who can't support what he says he can, and they were proving it.
That's all it was about.

>>323440790

They weren't proving shit because everything that needed to be proven has already been proven before.

>>323440741
Even if that's the case, it doesn't change the fact that he has shown to be a liar, so I don't see what the problem is.

>>323436895
everything wrong with journalism you cancerous fuck. I bet you lap up blatant advertising "interviews" tho.

>>323440851
Proving it again, to the face of the person in question, soon after yet another failure on his part.
They may have been too aggressive for a non-biased interview, but I'm siding with their aims.

>>323440579
Molyneux didn't lie, he just didn't ask for enough money. The project was badly managed and overstretched. The 'scandal' these nerd journos tried to invent for clicks and trying to make a name for themselves was just a wow it's fucking nothing fiasco. No one forces people to donate money to kickstarter and they should understrand the risks. Molyneux fucked up but he's no liar.

>>323441078
>Molyneux didn't lie
>RPS: During the Kickstarter for Godus you stated, regarding that you don’t want to use a publisher stating, “It’ll just be you and our unbridled dedication (no publishers).” And five months later you signed with a publisher.

>>323440987
>it doesn't change the fact that he has shown to be a liar

What complete bullshit. If it was 'fact' with actual evidence backing it up he'd probably be guilty of fraud and be in prison.

>>323441208
Being a liar isn't a crime.

>>323441137
That doesn't make him a liar. Prove he made this promise with the full intention of going back on his word, and not that circumstances forced him to change his mind.

>>323440997

I mean I guess we can just take Molyneux and subject him to an extended shitting on session whenever a project of his inevitably fails and inevitably is filled with lies, but I kind of wish we could also do the same with other developers. That's essentially what I'm getting at - Molyneux was a convenient excuse to "show some teeth" because nobody cares when an interview rips into Molyneux since everybody that reads the interview will already come into it with the mindset of "Molyneux is a liar and a hack".

When the fuck do AAA developers and publishers get that kind of scrutiny when their game launches and it runs like shit on 75% of the people they sell it to because it was horribly programmed and shit like that? Or all the promises they make at trade shows and then inevitably cut because it would cost too much money? Or all the bugs that are just left in the game because they've indoctrinated people to believe that bugs are funny and mods can fix it?

>>323441078
>Molyneux didn't lie
Here's your (you)

>>323441256
False advertising is though

>>323441256
It is if you do it to acquire half a million dollars from people. That's called fraud, and a judge will ravage your asshole for that.

They used to make very frequent dev updates, but then they got some new marketer that convinced him that it would be bad for sales or whatever, so they pretty much quit doing that cold turkey. Haven't heard much since they introduced that guy they hired from the forums that said he was going to fix the game.

I don't think false advertising applies to video games, if bullshots are anything to go by.

I kinda wish Moly or some other group made another Curiosity, shit was fun, basically Drawball for people who can't draw.

>>323441305
There haven't been many harsh interviews for a long time now, which does support the constant accusations of corruption in the industry.
If they hadn't descended into squabbling so quickly, I think the guess who movement could have done something actually useful.

>>323441291
It doesn't matter if he had no intention of going back on his word, the fact is that he did.

>>323441341
Prove he lied. Prove that one single thing he said he did with the full intention of going back on his word. You literally can't unless you're a mind reader, so stop making silly accusations.

I fucking liked the idea of Curiosity but Molyneux had to fuck it up right at the end. The prize was just a few dollars, I guess.

>>323433936
Yeah this was the time when Tim 3.3 needed criticizing so instead of going after their San Fran buddy then went after a really easy target.

>>323441747
>Prove that one single thing he said he did with the full intention of going back on his word.
But that doesn't matter, whether he had an intention of going back on his word or not, in the end he did. Besides, he didn't say they might go to a publisher if they ran out of money, he made a promise not to go to a publisher.
Which was a lie.

>>323438163
>Confirmed for never having played lack and White.

The creature AI was a huge step forward and something never actually seen in gaming to that point. Black and White was his last truly technologically impressive game.

>>323441615
>It doesn't matter

kek

It does matter, the intent is all that matters if something is to qualify as a lie or not, assuming you actually understand the definition of the word, which you obviously don't. Saying 2+2=5 isn't a lie if you actually believe it. You'd just be a retard or misinformed, but not a liar.

>>323440579
Everything is for clicks nowadays, they didn't want an informated interview they wanted a controversial one.
What would people be interested in more, the one where Molyneux just answers a few questions, or the one where they back him to a wall and get a reaction out of him ?
I wish devs and publishers would start blacklisting this assholes the way Kotaku and Neofag already are.

>>323442016
So it doesn't matter that he went back on his word, because he meant what he said when he said it?

>>323441895
No, he just broke his promise. Prove he made that promise with the full intention of breaking it. You can't.

>>323441847
no man, the prize changed the life of the winner! he's now known as the guy that got fucked over by Molyneux. We all got fucked over by him at some point, but not to this extent.

Worse yet 22 Cans just lost contact with the kid.

Fuck Molyneux

>>323441615
That makes all the difference anon

>>323443262
Right, all he's done is undone because he really tried, the poor thing.

>>323443490
We're talking about the definition of lying

>>323442232
It was a cut of the profit from a thing that occurred late development.

Peter decided to just release the game as some Pay2Sanic mobile game without any input from him.

All the interviews shows is that the journalist is an incompetent asshat who went into this with the intention of solidifying his predisposition towards Molyneux. The questions are repetitive and don't show any sign of integrating with the answers that were provided.

Regardless of what you think of Peter, the crime here isn't his tendency to lie, it's the incompetence of the article.

>>323443843
Molyneux-apologists might possibly be the most retarded people on the parent.
>it's okay that molyneux fucked everyone over because I don't like this interview :(

>>323443928
Can you point out to me where i stated that?

>>323443928
Do you even read a single word of posts before you assume to know what they're saying and start whacking at your keyboard to shit out some utterly dumb response

>>323438431
>Calling someone names in an interview is bad

yeah

The problem with asking "do you consider yourself a pathilogical liar" is the implication that the person in question is either a liar or a pathilogical liar. It shows bias and is a loaded question. It would have been ok to ask if Peter considered the things he said to be lies, but instead he used phrasing with implication. It's similar to asking someone "do you always suck dick?" because the question implies that the person being asked sucked dick at some point. The only way these questions can be answered with out succumbing to the implication is to deny them outright and be defensive, "i never suck dick" as an example. That closes the line of questioning and is bad practice, from both an ethical and professional standpoint. I'm not going to defend Molyneux, since he talks big and delivers a fraction of what he promises, but the interview was poorly done.
