I'm bet he's just exaggerating again I'm sure what he meant to say was "I'm leaving Lionhead and Microsoft to grab a quick lunch and then I'll be back by 3pm"
Honestly fine by me.. He ran out on Bullfrog and EA and for Lionhead and ultimately Microsoft, now he's just repeating history.
Ten to one he thinks he can do everything he does now, but indie. Lionhead's goals if I remember were the same thing, yet he buckled into going bigger. Given his back peddling I'm sure we'll see the same from this ridiculously named 22 Cans.
Only thing I really care about from this is what this does for Black and White?
Subsequently, I don't know if its real or not, but I looked up 22 Cans and they already have a basic website with just a quote, apparently from Peter, if it is real, and an email address that I guess is to send resumes to.

Doubtful. The man seems very much lost in his own vision of what he thinks is the future, when, like another commenter said, its antiquated.
Microsoft didn't have much to do with his choices at Lionhead, specially before he decided to focus on Fable so heavily, and the games he made before Fable weren't everything he played them up to be.
Take a personal favorite: Black and White. Both Black and White games were meant to be very much like Fable was supposed to be, but maybe on a grander scale: You were a God (in Black and White) who was shaping the world how you wanted it(the promise he made in both). He had implied (or flat out said) that you could do just about anything, when the end result was far from it in both games: which turned out to be a quirky strategy game.
Sure, Black and White 2 was far superior to the first one, and much more enjoyable, but in a lot of ways it was also much more restrictive (which seems to be the way his sequels tend to steer after his initial promise is gone).
So, yeah, either way, he promised big on those two well before he really got into the Fable train, and I don't believe one bit that Microsoft was the bulk of the cause behind the direction he had taken, and the problem was really mostly just him thinking too big. If anything, this new venture is probably so he's forced into thinking smaller.

Molyneux wouldn't be so insufferable if his games actually contained what he said they will/do. I like what he wants to do but he always fails to deliver. Unless he is gonna go make another God game, I don't care where he goes.
So basically, he starts videogames companies, creates a few vaguely interesting IPs good enough to make the company successful, sells that company to a bigger company and then buggers off to make a new company? WTF is up with this guy? Can't he stick with anything?!
The public self praise of amazing, scary and brave is pretty funny, but I've got to be honest here: I like Fable, it's fun. Sure, it hasn't lived up to expectations and basically stopped innovating after the first one, but I have fun playing it. That said, presumably being compelled to make an on rails Kinect bastardization of Fable proved to much for Peter, which proves he still has a soul.
