If you've played the first part of the Kickstarter-funded Broken Age you'll know it's shaping up to be a nice little point-and-click adventure. You'll probably also know that it finishes right before the story starts getting really interesting, and the dual narrative structure properly starts paying off.
Despite raising an impressive $3.45 million, back in 2012, the completed game has missed its original estimated launch window by almost two years. Somehow developer Double Fine - while not entirely avoiding criticism - nonetheless star-jumped away from the wholesale, and very personal, press and public battering that Peter Molyneux has received over the past couple of weeks.
However, Tim Schafer - Double Fine's handsome bossman - has now gone on record to send his support and kisses to Molyneux, citing his treatment at the hand of the "the internet and the games press" as "rough", "unfortunate", and "unfair".

We continue to be conflicted over the Molyneux nonsense. On the one hand, we get why he has annoyed people so much - not least, the games media, which has been forced to repeatedly regurgitate his apparently hollow, pre-chewed, hyperbole. It feels like there's a collective outpouring of frustration directed at the man. We also get the anger of Godus's backers - and their powerlessness in the face of the perceived situation.
On the other hand... y'know. Humanity anyone?
Anyhow. Whatever. Boring now. Here's Schafer's latest Broken Age update, with some Molyneux-love at the end.
