  • I loved many of Bullfrog's games (Theme Hospital, Theme Park World, Syndicate/Syndicate Wars) and games like Dungeon Keeper, Populous, Magic Carpet are widely respected (I didn't get to play them back in the day).

    The problem is that Peter Molyneux has arguably become a scammer.

    Before even launching his previous "game", Legacy, he got £40 M selling virtual land where making real money was the key driver (the theory was you would rent to players who didn't join the pre-sale) .

    It was a complete failure and the core gameplay was shit. Like playing an underbaked, extremely grindy mobile strategy game, but on PC. I played about an hour of it out of curiosity.

    Molyneux claims money from Legacy is being used for Masters of Albion. That may not be as good of a thing as one would imagine (what he said can interpreted in different ways); as Masters of Albion looks and feels a lot like Legacy.

  • That's not fully true, a decent amount of Steam games have zero DRM. It's not as convenient as the GOG installers, but you can make an archive of the installed game and run it again without Steam.

    I say this as a long time user of GOG who tries to get games from them over Steam (when possible).
