He isn't the leader in video game creativity. He is just one of the few in the AAA bussiness that is able to do this kinda stuff. Or was actually, since now he's with 23 Cans.
I know he's not "the" leader in creativity, but he's actively promoted as "a" leader. And unfulfilled promises isn't creativity, it's just unfulfilled promises. I mean, look at all the comments in this topic, do any of them take Molyneux and his idea seriously?
And I think anyone could do what he's doing (in that anyone can try to be creative), but don't because they're either more interested in money, think their own ideas are good, or because their parent company said no.
Molyneux isn't special, we're just more accustomed to his "variety" of "creativity", than say, Epic making a game about some box and human curiosity.
