Good news actually. Windows 8 looks awful anyway, so I'm glad there's a reason not to switch to the nightmare (this news).

People aren't going to give up windows to go to OSX or Lunix just because a few companies don't like win8.

Interesting viewpoint since the game requires you to think up your own goals.... A mental activity, which is much more common among adults than children.

Xbox Live says Hi, ITunes says Hi, Google Play says Hi.

What's that supposed to mean?

XBL is'nt doing the Indie scene any favours and I'm pretty sure it's not mobile games, he's commenting on:?

I'm sure a lot of major game developers will support it. Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words, and watch as droves of them develop games for it.

i think adults would rather use a real program and do soemthing actually constructive

what do i kno

minecraft seems like it's for people with autism, i really don't see how you could spend hours just moving a bunch of damn blocks

seems redic to me

it could all be automated so much quicker rather than painstakingly actually moving your character.

Even garrysmod has lua scripts for accomplishing this

I suppose you're expected to have imagination, something which children seem to lack after crossing the 10 year barrier.

Is this supposed to be an attempt at clever trolling?

That basically means that your children are more mature than you.

I don't really think the preference of game shows how mature you are, or aren't. If u like the game so be it. I'm hoping tHat comment was a joke, or sarcasm, but if not, well that would really show your maturity.

I see miauTheDaft is defending Minecraft with everyone who doesn't care for it. Then he decides to insult u if u don't care for it. Classic

Maybe we should rendez-vous in ten years from now, when some sicromoft honcho just announced that Win7 support will be extended til 2026...
