[PARTIAL SPOILERS] i totally agree with you guys, my delivery on the 1% revenue cut was poor looking back, think the fact i knew bryan didn’t receive a penny in the end made me over exaggerate 1% being a poor cut for bryan doing so little, if godus had done well, it would’ve been a nice share, sadly it didn’t pay off
-
I think the best person possible was the winner, someone who wasn’t invested and didn’t really care. Imagine it was someone who spent all this time to find out what it was, they would’ve been greatly disappointed
-
Commodore accidentally sending 10 computers to a baked bean company, and then that company actually developing the software they needed, is one of those things that makes me believe everyone in the 80s was on cocaine.
-
What a life changing prize! Peter has spent his entire life hyping things up to the max and then delivering a vastly underwhelming product that flops, and this kid got the chance to get this experience personally with the legend himself in person. Many can say "Peter Molyneux promised us and failed to deliver" but only a few special people can say "Peter Molyneux promised me and failed to deliver"
-
Considering Peter publicly and personally made promises the prize would be life changing, even having Brian sign a contract for 1% of revenue he never received, Brian is well within his right to sue Peter for this nonsense... and honestly, he should. At least he'd finally get some of that money that was promised.
-
I mean 1% was exactly what I had guessed. That just makes sense he's not a developer he's literally just the random guy who hit the last checkbox.
-
Even an official shirt that said, “I beat the Curiosity cube,” would’ve been sick, I mean just imagine flexing that shirt on everyone you know
-
The fact that Molyneux's foot in the door came about because of yet another lie is pure poetry.
-
I've actually played both Godus and The Trail and I had no idea about the whole cube thing or that they were even related. TBH, the games were both fine in my opinion.
-
The fact Molyneux couldn't even be bothered to hang out with the winner at the pub shows just what kind f person he is.
-
It's exceptionally Molyneux that his whole career started with lying to Commodore, blatantly lying to customers has been the hallmark of said career.
-
9:53 <- fkn broke me. the completly random "baby eating" transition with the dark souls death-sound was just to much. I cant stop replaying this bit.
-
1% could be pretty huge depending on the game, even indie games that get a decent niche following can get tens of millions in revenue, meaning 1% translates to hundreds of thousands. And if Godus had really popped off anything like the cube did, and one would suspect Molyneaux thought it would, he could have become a millionaire from this over time.
-
I remembered a game like this existing on the app store, but couldn't find it or remember the name until today, so thank you for posting this and completing that corner of my brain that made me not sure if the game even existed. By the title, I thought the games itself was a scam, and the cube just literally kept going forever. I'm not sure if I feel less or more satisfied now knowing it was for some god game that didn't even do anything for the one person who got the last cube.
-
Peter strikes me more as a heartless buisness man than a game developer
-
1% of the revenue of a somewhat popular game is an INSANE amount of money, anyone who expected 10/15/20 (???) percent of the revenue is out of their mind lmao
-
I think the issue with peter is that he gets a vision in his head, overestimates the ease with which it can be realized, talks it way up to himself and then others, and then when the end product ends up not being as great as he said it'd be he just sort of shrugs his shoulders and moves on without any sort of reflection about why it didn't work or meet expectations.
-
I remember spending weeks on the game, huge thanks to the Yogscast for advertising it. I probably singlehandedly removed two layers worth of cubelets, since I had found a glitch and was able to use the biggest upgrade non-stop. It was neat.
-
Molyneux is basically if a game development had the mindset of a politician with all the false promises.
-
Peter Molyneux is that guy that was never taught not to count his chickens before they hatched, and regularly believes he is the goose that laid the golden egg
