In the dramatically emotional wake of Peter Molyneux’s BAFTA Fellowship award earlier this week, Lionhead’s resident dog and fart lover has confessed his love for Minecraft, declaring the game “a complete work of genius”.
“I wish people in the press would focus on some of that up and coming talent, because there isn’t enough focus on it in my opinion,” he told IGN. “People like Marcus Persson who did Minecraft, he’s a fantastic person to talk to, and I think Minecraft is a complete work of genius.”
He goes on to talk about playing the game with his son, and a subsequent – and somewhat disastrous – public invite issued over Twitter to his own server that went all sorts of wrong.
“Within ten seconds of me pushing the Twitter button there were ten people, within 20 there were 50 people, and in a minute there were 200 people and we were bombarded until the point where the whole server crashed.
I think Minecraft’s the best thing I’ve played in the last ten years, and what’s so brilliant about it – and I’ve met Marcus and he’s a real inspirational person – he did everything on his own, and I think how brilliant and inspirational that is, to not need the full force of publishers and marketing people. He did everything on his own. I agree with you about it being a golden age – there’s so much choice, and I feel there’s so many opportunities as well.”
Like dogs and farting, I’m sure.
