I don't really know John Walker but that Molyneux interview was sensational.
If someone harbored hate for a long time has been who hasn't been important in more than a decade, sure.
I don't hate Molyneux and I doubt that guy does either. He fully deserves finally being told what others should have a long time ago though.. I've met him and he seems like a nice guy at first, but he shows his true petty cunty side every once in a while and everyone eventually gets angry with him. He refuses to ever listen to any advice and will openly mock his PR people for... Trying to do their job and not to get him into the trouble he constantly gets himself in, in front of everyone. I know more than a few people who worked with him all the way from back when they started Lionhead (yeah used to be even nerdier than now and also visited their studio and shit) and they all tell the same stories.
All those fools getting upset at an interview asking real questions for once, don't really get it and will say "lol yeah, offend him just because he once promised a feature or two that never got delivered". That isn't the case and they broke so many rules with the kickstarter as well, and never delivered the backers rewards which they are actually obliged to, and isn't just a "this might happen" thing.
I'm somewhat glad Lionhead started exclusively making fable games and Molyeux started making mobile games. Made it so easy for me to stop caring.
