    Bullfrog was a lost legend of development. Back when Peter Molyneux wasn’t a pile of lies in a trenchcoat.

      I fell for the lies every time. I felt like a teenage girl dating a cheating ex, telling myself he really changed this time, it would be different.

      Well maybe we needed a dog control button, Peter!

      Maybe I’m still not over it. I’ll see myself out.

        After Fable was where I drew the line.

        The crazy thing was Fable was actually good! Once you got past Peter’s grandiosity and fabrications, it was a fun, albeit a little shallow, experience.

        But Peter had to be out there carrying on about how we could cut down a tree and that same tree would be a stump in the future, or something like that.
