Masters of Albion is coming in April, and after that designer Peter Molyneux says he's done: It will be his last game ever. Whether that holds up over the long term remains to be seen, but his promised retirement from the industry has also triggered the end of one of the best and longest-running videogame parody social media accounts: After 17 years, Peter Molydeux is calling it quits.
The Peter Molydeux account was launched on Twitter in 2009 by artist Adam Capone, poking gentle, even affectionate fun at Molyneux by posting short, bizarre ideas for game concepts: "Imagine a game in which you can date and form a deep meaningful relationship with your weapons," for instance, or, "Imagine a game where you can do anything but once you do it you can never do it again."
