(Art)icle: Mothhead and Curiosity: What's In The Cube?

Daav from NoobFeed waxes poetic with yet more drivel between games and art. Don't worry, this one is only to strictly tie two recent developments together; one that is literally an art demo. The other is Curiosity, the fabled experiment by Peter Molyneux or game or whatever. Cubes and work; it sounds like a bad Borg reference.

I'm "Curious" if they will ever fix the horrible server issues they are having so the game is playable.

They conveniently opened a PayPal donation to help out with that.

I heard he said they might need financial help to add server support, but I hadn't seen that... I think that is so shameless. This sounds crazy, but with Molyneaux I wonder if this sort of thing isn't planned all along like some stupid social experiment that he thinks is brilliant and we all know is stupid.

From Xfire: "Remember when you'd buy a game and... that was it? You got the full experience by purchasing the full product one time. "

Damn, Train Simulator is costing the big bucks. That game is kinda fun but not if you purchase all the DLC.

Relientk771123d ago

I will never understand why people pay for this crap.

"All the DLC - Train Simulator 2020, $10,145"

No wonder we're witnessing an increasing number of ports from PC to consoles, you can't nickel and dime PC owners with all their mods over there, lol

"Legatus Pack - Star Citizen $27,000"

Ouch!

Planet Calypso - Entropia Universe, $6,000,000

WTF...?!

With recent fudge-ups by Molynuex, I can't believe people still gave this loser any money. Is he on drugs? Why can't this GROWN man do anything right?

The man's ego is so over-inflated that his hairline had to make room for his "big headedness".

SaveFerris3359d ago

I feel bad for the investors, but it isn't as if he hasn't done this kind of thing before.

The God who Peter Molyneux forgot

During the early afternoon of 26th May 2013, 18-year-old Scot Bryan Henderson tapped on Peter Molyneux's Curiosity cube for the last time. He had won the game. A tiny message appeared on the screen of his smartphone. It contained an email address for someone at 22Cans, the Guildford studio Molyneux had founded after leaving Microsoft and traditional game development behind.

Bryan, confused but intrigued, followed the instructions. Have I really won, he asked? An email appeared with a link to a video. In it Molyneux, dressed all in black and set against a virtual cube, delivers a message of congratulations.

The prize? In the months before Curiosity's release, Molyneux had hyped it up, promising it would be "life-changing" for whoever discovered it. "Life-changing." Quite the claim, and Molyneux's video message repeats the words. But how? You will become a digital god, Molyneux proclaims in the video, of 22Cans' next game, Godus. And, you will receive a cut of the money made by Godus from the start of your reign to its end.

"That, by any definition of the word, is life-changing," Molyneux says.

18 months later, as Bryan approaches his 21st birthday, he has yet to become God of Gods, he has yet to receive the "riches" Molyneux promised him, and it's looking increasingly likely he never will.
