It's really long. It's Molyneux going full Molyneux. Weird exchange:
RPS: Did you provide anyone with support and advice on those forums? The pledge said that you would provide people with feedback on their games and advice for students?
Peter Molyneux: Yes, we did twelve one-hour sessions where we went through people’s games, I’ve actually got their art on the wall here, and we went through people’s games, we went through their designs. Konrad was actually one of those people. Yesterday, in fact, I went to school, a local school, and was helping kids out with their games designs, so yes.
RPS: That’s great. That’s brilliant.
Peter Molyneux: What are you doing at the moment John? You’re trying to find any crack you can to actually destroy us. That’s what this article is going to do, isn’t it?
Gives you a compliment, respond with accusations of trying to destroy your company.
I have no sympathy for people who got scammed by him. I mean it's Peter Molyneux, what the fuck were they expecting? Now if only RPS would apply the same level of criticism towards Tim "3.3 Million Dollars" Schafer
I don't feel bad for them either but it's nice to see him called out on his bullshit for once instead of handled with kid gloves as he sheepishly apologizes like he normally does.
But yeah, the only reason that writer has the balls to is because Molyneux has turned himself into an absolute joke and isn't taken seriously anymore. Reaming Double Fine won't happen because they still take that company seriously. DF found itself a nice little sweet spot where it can be shadier or as shady as major publishers but receive a fraction of the criticism.
I can't say the interview helped my opinions on RPS either. When you open by asking someone if they're a pathological liar you're there to promote your perspective. Not that Moly has any position to defend from, when
RPS: You asked for less money on Kickstarter than you knew you were going to need because you didn’t want to ask for too much money.
Happened it was spot on. They misused Kickstarter to get initial funding because they wouldn't be able to raise the actual cost of developing Godus and undersold the expenses.
But still, some writer at RPS got fame rush from an article a week ago and Peter is that one retarded dead horse that keeps coming back for more punishment even though he's already dead.
And Fable was fucking awful. I want Sobchak's money back for him.

Yeah. Fable sucked. I'd forgotten about this guy after that, all I remember was him pitching a game about a video game kid who was supposed to... do something. Be real? Shameless Pinocchio rip.
