Precisely. The entire concept of Kickstarter is that the developer will deliver on the promises made during the pledging process. And of course, there's the expectation that the more money that is pledged to the project, more features will be added.

But Molyneux has a well-documented track record of failing to deliver on promises.

I guess the question that people like me are asking is this: If Molyneux couldn't deliver on promises when he was working with tens of millions of dollars, years of development time, and a dev team upwards of 100 people, how in the world can people believe that he will deliver on his promises with a fraction of the money, a fraction of the time, and a fraction of the team size?

I look at him and then I look at someone like Tim Schaefer. Both are veterans and both share a passion for gaming. Difference is one isn't constantly in the media promising the world. The other difference is one tries many ideas and is much more connected with the gaming public. Tim also doesn't rely on his history and keep saying his next project will be better than the last one. He just keeps making the games he wants to make.

I want Peter to shut up and prove his worth. No excuses.

Interesting. Could you give examples of these good games that turned into crap because of Molyneux. Looking at the list of games he's directly responsible for, I see a library of games going back 30 years with a number of absolute masterpieces among them, and I see recent games like the Fable series each selling over 4 million copies and every one receiving critical praise not to mention a few game of the year awards to boot.

All the while the guy pushed gaming and took it in new directions, sometimes creating entirely new genres.

Where are all these dismal failures of which you speak, because what I see is a fantastic and visionary game developer who rightly earned his spot in the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences hall of fame through title after title in his 30 years making games. Frankly I find myself disappointed in some gamers that he's not awarded the respect he obviously deserves. And why, because despite the fact that he delivered games that ranged from remarkable to simply good (shocking!) over 30 years not every single feature he dreamed up made it into the final product? Because the guy was so passionate he would tell anyone who listened every idea he wanted to put into his game?

Or do you prefer your developers to just shut up and churn out the same game over and over again? And how is it a fault that he's passionate about his projects, and the industry? You want Peter to prove his worth? I ask you, what else do you need other than his body of work? Is consistently making great games over 30 years somehow not enough?

If he resurrected Christ in vidoegame form, you people would still be "You said he'd be taller!"

It was a charity event. You're really going to hold that against him? That he did something for charity?

And he's also mentioned several times that he understand there are people that hate him. Really man, if you're going to comment attempting to state factual information, at the very least ensure that what you're saying are actual facts.

On top of that, many people have in fact stated that they haven't pledged yet because they haven't got anything to show, so Peter has been paying attention.
