You can't keep a good grifter down.

He definitely delivered on Fable though

Most of "his" genuinely good games seem to deliver despite him, not because of him. Beyond his ability to deceive enough investors/gamers to get funding for other people to pull something good from the fire he creates, what else does he do.

Is he the Elon Musk of video games?

[–] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 15 points 1 year ago

He's more of a snake oil salesman than a Musk, who makes the pitch, takes the money and vanishes off to another scheme.

Musk likes to become very involved and get his hands dirty, even if it's often just from his own faeces that he is throwing at the wall.

The game that was missing so many features promised by him that the studio had to stop him from doing any more interviews?
