'Project Godus reaches Kickstarter goal just under the wire'. ^ a b c Orland, Kyle (20 December 2012).Gamers and Kickstarter supporters have reacted negatively to the broken promises by Molyneux, and demands for refunds or apologies have not been met or addressed. Īdditional criticisms were made over the freemium model chosen for the iOS version. I made the choice when I left Microsoft to become a small developer again and to define myself like a small developer defines itself, and that is someone who takes unbelievable risks – foolish risks like releasing Curiosity and doing Kickstarter.' Molyneux also said that he invested a lot of his own money into the development studio 22cans. Molyneux responded, saying, 'I don't see why I, with my background, should be precluded from. It's not wrong because they are taking advantage of people – which may or may not be the case – but because this is absolutely not what Kickstarter is about.' PC Gamer expressed similar concern: 'one wonders if Molyneux couldn't have handled his own funding'. They instantly put me in the mentality of a consumer weighing up a pre-order against the potential fiction of their oft-broken pre-release promises. Eurogamer's Tom Bramwell expressed concern that successful game designers were funding their projects using Kickstarter, stating: 'I'm looking at Kickstarter through the prism of Molyneux and Braben and Schafer and Fargo reaching out of their mansions and rattling their golden cups in my direction.
