I was gonna say Will Wright but then I remembered he just kinda stopped after Spore. Probably to stop himself getting added to this list.

stop it you'll make him cry
Quote from: https://kotaku.com/the-man-who-promised-too-much-1537352493Peter Molyneux is crying.
"If I ask people to be interested in [my newest game] Godus, if there's one reason for them to be interested," he says, breaking into tears, "it's that I could not do anything that would not make my son proud."
Molyneux pauses. Sniffles. His voice is cracking. Part of me wants to give him a hug; another part of me wonders if he's just putting on a show.
Quote from: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/11/22/peter-molyneuxs-tears-i-still-believe-so-much/[...] Peter Molyneux broke down into tears when discussing the struggles he's had with Curiosity, and his concerns about making promises for Kickstarter GODUS.
"I know I've said things," Molyneux continued. "I wish I could not say them, I guess. I just... I still believe so much."
"I can't see that, at this rate, the way I'm burning through my life... I don't see that I'll be alive much longer."
...and we haven't heard from him since

I mean he doesn't really make games anymore so I don't really see how this could be the case
He may not actually "make" them, but he's still in charge of them

disagree'd
he was merely an artist for all mega man games up to the x series, and nearly all games in which he had a more prominent role in development were among the weaker-weakest ones
he
shared the production/direction role with other employees for any games he worked on that did turn out to be good lol
his one and only arguable claim to fame is minish cap, which to be fair is excellent
but otherwise, inafune is an absolute hack (and always has been) and is among the worst of the todd howards

Yeah, but he never made promises that he couldn't keep until mighty
that's not the only qualifier for todd howardism
inafune also amassed, embraced, and unapologetically abused his wholly undeserved cult following lol
only to shamelessly deliver a shite product
and that makes him among the worst of the todds

But that's about mighty... which was what I originally said
the mighty fiasco was such an egregious combination of outright theft, broken promises and cult-of-personalityism that it places him near the top of the list lol

I mean, I'm not arguing that.

I'm not really familiar with this guy at all. What has he done to deserve the Todd Howard label? befuddlement
I mean it depends on your definition but basically he made Katamari Damacy and has spent the rest of his career trying (and failing) to replicate that success
i wouldn't say that trying and failing alone is enough to qualify as a todd howard, otherwise
thousands of developers would be todds lol
i think it's more about overpromising and seriously underdelivering (especially repeatedly)
also, i forgot to name and shame this guy:
