How Legacy became a costly crypto bust for players and a business win for Peter Molyneux

After millions in NFT sales, the hyped “play to earn” game was effectively dead in weeks.

In exchange for their crypto millions, players who bought into Legacy got “a proto-idle-tapper… with a bigger screen,” Brink added.

Funnily enough, "a proto‑idle‑tapper" was also the description most reviewers have given to Molyneux's newest scam game Masters of Albion…

Molyneux has been a grifter for a long, long time now.

Every time I hear his name I can only think of this legendary 2015 interview by John Walker of RockPaperShotgun, which opens with the question “Do you think that you’re a pathological liar?” - such was the state of Molyneux’s reputation 11 years ago.

I wasn’t the least bit surprised to hear that he got in on the crypto/NFT grift as well.

This will be his last game… Until he thinks of a new way to somehow wring even more money out of his absolutely tattered reputation.

Ah, I still remember that interview and my incredulous laughter reading it. It was legendary, indeed! One of the highlights of RPS, which has since IMHO gone to shite after being sold.

Molyneux could apply to be White House Press Secretary, pretty sure his background in pathological lying and grifting would be pretty welcomed there…
