Molyneux leaves Microsoft/Lionhead to form 22 Cans, discusses boring controllers
Coming from Molyneux's Twitter...
Molyneux is going to take on a new studio called 22 Cans. No word on what he'll be working on yet, but it sounds like he's out to shoot down boring old game controllers.
“I am just sick to death of having my hand clamped to this controller – of having to be forced to use my thumb in a certain way, and having my other hand clamped to the other side of the controller, and having games say ‘No, you will do it this way, and if you don’t do it this way then we will punish you’. Sure enough, controllers are great, they give us exactly what we want, but that is so tedious and boring now.”
