Peter Molyneux is at once known as a legendary game designer and as a legendary bullshitter. He's credited with creating the "god game" genre with 1989's Populous, and was the frontman for the Fable RPGs of the 2000s. Many of his games were hits, and some are regarded as classics. His personal reputation hasn't fared so well.
Earlier this week at Gamescom, Molyneux announced a new god game called Masters of Albion, and there are reasons to suspect it won't be any good. The last game put out by his studio, 22cans, was a blockchain business sim that earned its money by selling "land NFTs." And the biggest game the studio put out before that, crowdfunded god game Godus, isn't even available for purchase on PC anymore.
