I don't think he expected to be handled gently.  And judging on his past behavior I think he believes that even negative/quasi-negative PR is still a net positive.  Sure, people fuss a lot about him, but they know who he is.

When it comes down to it though the press are definitely big culprits when it comes to Molyneux's "Rock Star" status as a game developer. They helped build that myth one story at a time, so seeing rags like RPS take cheap shots like that gives me a special contempt for them.

How was it a cheap shot? He agreed to the interview. He KNEW what he was going to be in for and it was long since past that someone in the press didn't handle him with kid gloves.

It's a cheap shot because it's an accusation framed as a question. There are better, non-sensationalist ways to approach the subject. John Walker always likes a lot of drama though so that's what you get when you read his articles.
