I met Peter at E3 one year before the release of Black and White two. He offered to give us (then two kids) a pre build copy of the game before it even came out. His secretary ripped it out of our hands on the way out the door and gave us some lame swag instead.

Guy has always had his head in the clouds. Love his games though.

Holy shit. From the Wikipedia entry on Peter Molyneux: Following the failure of his first game, The Entrepreneur:

"...Molyneux retreated from game design, and started Taurus Impex Limited—a company that exported baked beans to the Middle East—with his business partner Les Edgar."

If he gives everyone their money back for Godus, I'll fully support him in the same way. Until that happens, he's just a grifter now.

They been working on a lot of updates for Godus recently. Suddenly and out of the blue.

Have they? On Wikipedia I hilariously see:

The most recent update to Godus was 2 April 2015 and the last communication with 22Cans regarding the game and its Steam community was 13 May 2016. Despite many years without update or communication with 22Cans, the game is available for purchase as an early access title on Steam.

In a December 2021 interview, Molyneux stated that "we are announcing our first new set of features for Godus in almost two years and that should be coming out before Christmas." It was not released before or after the Christmas timeframe, and nothing has been heard about the update since the interview.
