I do agree that the interviews overall tone was too hard, to antagonistic. I don't care who it is your interviewing (outside maybe, I don't know, murderers or something) you don't start your interview by asking the interviewee if he's a pathological liar. Anyone who defends that is just...I don't know, not socially or professionally inept at all.
Having said that, I don't really feel sorry for Peter here. He's made an entire career of overpromising, misleading statements, and this whole recent thing with KS seems pretty shady. At some point, someone is going to come to you and ask just what the fuck is going on. It kind of amazes me that he's managed to avoid this for as long as he has (probably due to games journalism being "soft" or maybe a relatively good eye for who to do interviews with in general). The best you can hope for in that case is that the person who finds you is professional and with ask the hard questions in the softest way. But, unfortunately, he got someone who was not, and did not. Not that I agree with the way Walker went about that or anything, but anyone who doesn't think this has been a long time coming is either way too easy on Molyneux, or really hasn't been following his career.
