Arguably the issue isn’t so much in the gaming landscape as the history behind the game.
His previous “game” was a crypto/NFT scam where they sold land (as NFTs) to people who were speculating they could make IRL money from renting out this “land” to plebs.
It was a complete failure. I played it for an hour on a free sever (or something similar). The gameplay was complete shit, it was tedious and grindy (like mobile titles), a repetitive and uninspired experience, graphics were ugly, the multiplayer elements didn’t really make much sense.
All the NFT buyers got destroyed while Molyneux collected tens of millions.
Allegedly that money was used to “invest” in Masters of Albion.
But the real kicker is that Masters of Albion seems to be based on that NFT scam game engine (which IMO is beyond saving).
I wouldn’t be surprised if this a managed exit from his previous crypto/NFT scam “game”.
Scamming a bunch of NFT idiots is an arguably better funding model than promising a bunch of stuff to Kickstarter backers that you aren’t going to deliver on.

I would prefer if neither one was a thing.
