Peter Molyneux says working at Microsoft was like taking antidepressants

Thank you Mr. Molyneux, you've fixed Fable III so I can now run it on Windows 8.1! It may not be the greatest game of all time but it is still a very good game. I salute you!

Trash all you want but he's still done more than most of us will in video gaming =\

everyone knows MS are like the sleeping pods in the matrix

Oh dear Peter... What will tomorrow's headline grabbing comment be? After this one, it just feels like you are not trying any longer, but don't worry... I will help you out buddy. Here pick anyone of these if you like..?

• I tried to buy Oculus Rift for a tenner.
• I once reached orgasm by sitting on the Xbox controller for 10 minutes by accident... Honestly!
• Fable was based on a true story.
• I sold my Xbox One for some weed yesterday.
• Godus is better than sex, and it is also based on a true story.
  

You are welcome.

Just shut up already!! I am no fan of MS, but this guy has long had a record of over-hyping his games and then failing to deliver on the promises long before Lionhead was brought by MS!! Quite blaming everything on others when clearly YOU are the PROBLEM!!

Oh no, the blue-clad faceless people are attacking!

I am wondering why you (Gamespot) are giving this man so much time lately. I don't suppose it's anything to do with a "special" arrangement that involves him giving you exclusive interviews in exchange for exposure of his awful game, Godus, is it?

The fact that you gave such a glowing review of the early access version of Godus says it all ...

Molyneux is annoying. He needs to take shut up pills.

"Microsoft was like taking antidepressants" - Welcome to the club, List me some office jobs that are not. Look on the bright side it was a job and guessing for you a damn nice paying one.

In this case I agree with Mr Molyneux; since Gears of War on the 360, there have been very few new big budget franchises for Microsoft systems because of their strict policy on focusing on games which make the most money, rather than taking risks to deliver refreshing experiences. Hopefully they'll fix that soon with Xbox One.

Peter, once gain, you speak a lot of Fables.

Damare!

So now xbots are hating Peter Molyneux...well done xbots.

Don't worry Peter Molyneux will talk more tomorrow.

With what Fable 3 turned out like, I believe him. But I feel if he truly loved that series he would of bailed on it rather than stay for the ever present money.

Guy makes god games because he has a god complex. Screw this guy. Take all the money spent on his ego projects and give it to Ken Levine or Sid Meier. Preferably the latter so we can get a Civ V style reboot of Alpha Centauri.

Black and white 3 peter, that premise and idea for a game is genius. I love the idea of having a command and conquer style game with gods that changes if you do evil things or good things to your people, its an epic concept. Such a great idea and has yet to be fully realized.

"When you have the ability to be a creative person...."? Isn't that everyone? Or is this guy so self centred he thinks he is the only one who can be creative?

Gotta give him credit for wanting to step outside of Microsoft's strict creative boundaries.

In a follow up statement, Molyneux resents his parents for giving him food and shelter as a child instead of kicking him out in the street to learn harsh life lessons

So it's Microsofts fault that he got complacent and lazy because they made him feel too safe and secure? What an ass hat!

Yeah I am sure the developers of Rockstar feel the same way after what happened to Bioshock developers....

Too comfortable?

Sit on upside down stool.

What's his excuse for Godus then? Was he on crack?

why tell us something we already know Microsoft and creativity don't go together very well just look at the 360's exclusive line up

Although Petey Pete is now a has been and looked at as the Nutty Professor. It is still great to see him or anyone of recent value to speak truth about companies they were associated with. Yeah it maybe goofy in appearance but is Noteworthy stuff to remember.

You normally don't get this type of public ridicule from ex-employee's that had such a big stage on gaming. They usually bought out in some type of severance package to keep quite and not bad mouth a company as big as EA, Sony or MS.

I am convinced.

Molyneux is an absolute psycho.

He is in dire need of help.

If by "creativity" you mean "tapping a screen a few thousand times for nothing," then yes, Molyneux is a very creative developer. No other developer would have had the creative audacity to make tapping your finger a billion times into a game. When I do it anywhere else, people yell at me to stop tapping my finger.

Also, I'm really hoping for a board game version of that game. I imagine that would be pretty simple to make....

Well if MS is a supertanker, then they better be responsible for leaking that poisonous safety oil that is rapidly polluting & suffocating the gaming world. No LOL (enjoy the metaphor)

Ive stopped actually reading the "peter" articles...F off, self deluded A Hole!!

oh hes back from the forest must of got all the mushrooms he needed

Peter Molyneux is yesterday's hype, which he created himself.

Peter Molyneux is kind of full of himself. His games aren't really that great.
