Peter Molyneux's 'mostly negative' strategy game pulled from Steam
Godus Patch Notes — December 15, 2023
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Curiosity, the experimental classic from Fable creator Peter Molyneux, remains one of my favorite gaming memories. Arriving back in 2012, it was a huge multiplayer experience with a deceptively simple premise. There was a huge cube, and when you tapped on the cube, it removed a single tile from one of its many, many layers. Every player was working on the same cube; for a few weeks, we were all united in this enigmatic task, slowly chipping away to find out what lay at the cube's center. Eventually, we got there. The player who tapped away the final tile was awarded a special prize - they would become the creative 'god' of Godus, the subsequent strategy game from Molyneux and his studio 22cans. Now, ten years and a 'mostly negative' user rating later, the ambitious project from the co-creator of Fable, Black and White, and Populous is being removed from Steam.
