I read the interview in rockpaperscissors and he seemed like a good faith person. The Godus game, well he put it in Kickstarter, and he actually filled most of the promises, but as you should expect from Kickstarter, any pledge should be viewed as bet. People that know Molyneux better won't give pledges as he loves overestimating and overhyping things. Nevertheless, the interview teached him to be more careful when making estimates and promises.


Nope, he didn't learn a thing.

He should have kept his earlier promise from a year earlier, and never spoken to the press again:
