    The fact that he knows that people won’t believe him is hilarious. It means he’s fully aware that he has a problem and has never taken any steps to fix it.

    He wants to rejuvenate his reputation but the time to do that was about 25-30 years ago. If you make one game and you’ve over promised on it, the very next game has to be your redemption, or you go CDPR route and you fix it, you can’t do it decades later.

      A redemption arc this late would’ve had to have been quietly making a great game, no big announcements in advance until it was done or nearly so and playable, and then letting it speak for itself.

      It’s unlikely that Masters of Albion will be his return to form.

      It looks to be largely based on his previous “game”, Legacy, which was a crypto/NFT scam.

        I watched a video of some of the “gameplay” of that, and… Wow. It is the most by the numbers mundane idle game I’ve ever seen. Inspired, how uninspired it is.
