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.
