Fallen god? Is the person who wrote this stupid? He's always been a liar and conman.
Sounds like the comparison with religion is apt als religion is also lies by conmen.
He did beloved and groundbreaking work, to be taken seriously for even higher promises. Populous, Syndicate, Theme Park, Dungeon Keeper, Black & White, Fable - all genuinely impressive titles only marred by his tendency to overhype.
There's a reason skeptics care enough to say "oh, him?" when he says he's got another big idea.
edit: Though they are right to dismiss any promise he makes.
