Talk:Peter Molyneux

message: Molyneux was interviewed in the film "Minecraft: The Story of Mojang".  The subtitle at the end of the film claims Minecraft was his inspiration for leaving Microsoft.  Is this a worthy piece of information, or useless trivia?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by MorningSciFi (talk • contribs) 06:55, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Interview in Minecraft documentary 

message: It was added and quickly removed, probably because it was discovered the announcement on his twitter that Peter was leaving the industry was because his Twitter account was hacked, and he has no plans yet to leave. I'm just dropping this here in case that future editors try to include it but don't read up on the followup on the hacked account. . --MASEM (t) 22:39, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

message: To date, 22Cans has sold early access on multiple titles including Godus, Godus Wars, and The Trail. As yet, despite three years of quoted development and a large Kickstarter for Godus,[22] no projects have left early access.[23][24] 
This statement is not true; personally I have played The Trail and it is not in "early access", has been out for over 3 years now; not sure about Godus or Godus Wars but at least The Trail has moved on to the release phase from early access.

message: Suggest removing the link to the parody article. I have never, ever seen any other Twitter parody account be listed on a notable person's Wikipedia page, regardless of how funny people might think it is. And thousands have parodies. Lythalicious (talk) 22:08, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The criteria here is not that the person is notable, so the twitter account is notable; rather, the twitter account seems to be notable enough on its own to have an article written about it, and if such an article exists, it makes sense to link it.  It looks like there are only a few other such articles in :Category:Parody social media accounts (and the ones in there are of varying quality; some have passed WP:Good article review, while others are in much worse state).   created that article and probably should weigh in here too. --Pokechu22 (talk) 22:38, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: That category is nothing but a very incomplete collection of the parody accounts people have bothered to add to it/Wikipedia. As a random example, Elon Musk alone has several parody accounts that have been written about quite extensively in the media. I don't buy that if someone takes the time to create a Wikipedia page for them that it should qualify them all to be listed on his page, because they aren't relevant to the facts of a person; they're their own thing. In my opinion, it's also mildly insulting that it's on there. Queen Elizabeth II has a hugely popular parody account; I think you'd get some pushback if you linked to an article about it from her Wikipedia page, but Molyneux is fair game? Lythalicious (talk) 01:46, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  Until those parody accounts have enough coverage to warrant their own articles, the comparison is an academic exercise. The article's "See also" section is the place we commonly put links to related articles that are not themselves covered within the body of the article itself. The parody account has been the subject of sustained coverage and I don't think there is any question of its independent notability. These things being true, it makes sense that Molyneux's article at least mentions that parody account. Look elsewhere in the :Category:Parody by medium category and it is common for noteworthy parodies to be mentioned in the articles of their reference works. czar 02:57, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a ton of coverage of the queen_uk parody Twitter account, e.g. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2016/02/25/britain-first-queen-twitter_n_9315530.html, https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/spoof-queen-england-twitter-account-650586/, https://mashable.com/article/best-queen-tweets-parody etc. It probably has more significant coverage than the Peter Molydeux account, so perhaps it's just waiting for someone to bother writing a Wikipedia entry to take up its place on Elizabeth_II.

message: Someone unknown person left an HTML comment in the article that the following source (used in the article) includes useful information.
comment: 
not sure where this fits, since these are not Bullfrog games, according to that article:
In this period, Molyneux worked with David Hanlon, Simon Hunter (game sound developers), and Andrew E. Bailey (game programming) on games like Druid and Dragons Breath.
