You can't have 100 people working on a project without there being really clear creative leadership. Games aren't done in that sort of way – no creative vision is".
My impression is that this guy has an utterly massive and obnoxious ego... which I find extremely distasteful.

Leaving aside my personal opinions of Molyneux and the Fable series, however, I have to agree with him here...

You can't have all kinds of people running helter skelter with little to no common purpose; I think you do need a clear goal and vision from whomever is leading said project. And while I've never been in favour of autocracies, regardless of their nature, it can also be the case that when something is excessively consensus-driven and involves infinite committees...nothing *ever* gets done.

So, I think you need to find a way to strike a balance, and that will ultimately depend on the project itself and the people involved.
