Unfulfilled promises since 2001.

Because he's not satisfied...

...until you're not satisfied.

I remember being excited in 1993 when PC Format started a "Learn to program C with Bullfrog!" column. There were I think two columns out of a promised series, the source code provided (which was supposed to animate the sprites from Syndicate) didn't work, and then the series mysteriously disappeared.

He also did some great games in the 90s (and the 80s - Populous is my favourite, released in '89), so I was also unaware of the repeating pattern until Black & White.

Peter Molyneux unfulfilled promises are a running gag. He is really good at PR and has a charming personality so he gets away with it. He fails to deliver since Black & White 1 (2001).
