I enjoyed Black & White quite a bit. As a spin on a classic Civ / RTS, it was both novel and fun. Buggy as hell, but when you're on the bleeding edge, its inevitable.
But holy shit did this man over-promise. Just... constantly. Dude put a pizza in the oven and insisted he'd be pulling out dinner for twelve at Le Bernardin. Which is a shame, because when his games had a bit of time to mature - Fable II was imho, a much more developed game than the original - they really hit their stride. But the dude repped his game like six Sam Altmans in a trench coat. There was never any hope that he could deliver on his promises, and you can only get suckered so many times - no matter how much fun the final product - before it chaffes to give that guy any more of your money.
Fable 2 never released on PC as far as I know, which meant I never had the chance of trying it.
It’s somewhat playable on the Xbox 360 emulator Xenia. I play the canary version on my Steam Deck and it works but has some stuttering and some graphical glitches, but is still mostly playable.
I haven’t played it in some months, so new updates could have made it even better and might be better on better hardware.
XBox 360 has been emulated since forever.
Yes, but the compatibility is still in question for most titles
Fable 2 still has many graphical problems
