Fable 2 Pub Games Gold-Earning Glitch Fixed
Supposedly premeditated gold-earning exploit removed with a new patch.
By Kris Pigna, 09/21/2008
We're still not quite sure if Peter Molyneux was serious when he said he deliberately implemented a gold-earning glitch in Fable 2 Pub Games (with the intent, apparently, to punish those who used it when Fable 2 comes out). But either way, this road to free money is officially closed -- Xbox360Fanboy reports that the exploit has been fixed with a newly released patch.
In addition to fixing the glitch, the patch also resets the leaderboards for the afflicted "Fortune's Tower" game, so everyone can restart fair and square. This patch does, however, raise an obvious question: If Molyneux intentionally added the glitch in order to catch reprobates cheating their way to a fortune, then why would they patch the game to remove the glitch? Maybe they figured there was no longer any point to it now that their grand scheme had been revealed, but it still seems a little odd to us.
But the fact remains: The glitch is gone, and the temptation to swindle a ton of cash along with it. Of course, you'd never cheat your way to more in-game money, would you?
