Molyneux, Peter, Plans vs. Results Of


British game developer Peter Molyneux is famous for games like Populous, Black & White and other ambitious so-called “God games.” He’s even more famous for grandiose plans that never come to fruition. Molyneux never delivers on his original pie-in-the-sky game designs but he truly believes it’ll happen when he’s pitching his sweet woo. To underscore this pattern here are some plans he made and what he ended up doing.
