Pete in June:

"I do think, though", he concedes, "we have stumbled, and it feels like stumbling on a mechanic that has never been seen in a game before."

"And a lot of this is very mystical because I'm trying to avoid to tell you what it's like. But it's going to be a lot more like a kind of Fable - Black and White - Dungeon Keeper kind of experience"

Of course it was blockchain bullshit.

"A kind of Fable - Black and White - Dungeon Keeper kind of experience"

Three remarkably different games there. Ol lyin Pete just wanted to mention the greatest hits to drum up interest in his nft nonsense.

I'm not really familiar with those games, only with the infamousness of molyneux, but wasn't the player's actions leaving behind a pretty clear effect on the world a common theme in those games? That may have been what he was referring too.

It may also be him naming those because those games were the heights that he wants to go back to. The games he had made when he was still relevant must be much more present in his mind than they are in ours.
