Why Molyneux always buys his own games

The staff at GAME in Guildford will serve a rather surprising customer on Friday, October 29th.

They may not know who he is, but you will. It’s development legend Peter Molyneux, and he is there to buy his own video game, Fable III.

Molyneux performs this ritual every time one of his games is released. The idea is to experience his latest title through the eyes of the consumer.

I always do the same thing,” he says. I always go into a shop, buy my retail copy and go back and play the game. Really it is the first time I play it without writing a long list of things. And it is the first time I think about the design going forward.”
