Mojang "Boycotting" E3

[Bladexdsl]

oh no the show is gonna fall apart now that minecraft won't be there!! e3 is for REAL games anyway

 

[finkmac]

Minecraft isn't a real game? I guess Windows isn't a real operating system, either.

Holy shit, people get fucking butthurt over Minecraft.

Why the hell are you guys all such polar fanboii/anti-fanboii?

I mean, god, I like the game, a lot. Enough that I got my non-gamer girlfriend into the game as the only computer game she plays. Enough that I convinced a bunch of my friends to buy it. Enough that I bought it for my little brother, and he convinced a bunch of his friends. Enough that I made a spur of the moment purchase around $250 for server hardware to build a server specifically for Minecraft (primarily), as well as Vent (for Minecraft and gen. gaming) and a website for the same reasons.

But god, Mojang isn't going to E3? holy fucking shit-balls, grab your pitchforks and torches because it's the end of the indie computer gaming scene as we know it.

I have a strong interest in the game, almost to the point where it is a secondary hobby. I see people rant and rave about every major franchise out there, but there are just some things that I have seen people bitch and moan about more and more than EVER lately. Half Life 3 is basically a running joke at this point, but still garners a lot of talk; Skyrim; Mass Effect 3; CoD; and then Minecraft. It's one thing to like/dislike a game, and just keep it civil... but everyone has been turning the road of fanboii/anti-fanboii/anti-anti-fanboii lately for everything.

tl;dr - off topic, fanboii's everywhere, people need to chill the hell out, and I don't get it.

It's po[pular but I don't personally like it?
That's good enough reason to make up bullshit, dawg.
I mean I need to convince everybody else to think the same way I do, right?

Also, they have to find ways to make money in the long run? Don't they have like one hundred gorillion dollars anyway?

They do have a lot of money supposedly, but you'd think that if they made a Minecraft "expansion" to update the graphics, gameplay, hire (much) more staff, and not use Java, they'd make one gorillion gorillion dollars.

Does anybody here care about Scrolls or 0x10c? I don't.

So people would buy stuff that should have been in the original game anyway? God I love Minetards.

Minetards? Well, when lack the intelligence to argue properly, I guess you have to resort to insults.

And by that logic EVERY dlcs and expansion packs content should have been in the original game. Do you think that any company should spend millions of dollars developing new content for nothing? Especially when they've sold their product for $10? I don't think so.

That's different. Most good DLCs and expansions are continuations of a game which is complete. The things Minecraft "adds" should have been there day one. Even when it was "officially released" it was still massively lacking in some areas.

Guild don't even make me pull up a list of games that added features and raised levels caps and stuff after release without addon stories.

 

[Hyro-Sama]

Wussy.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

Guild don't even make me pull up a list of games that added features and raised levels caps and stuff after release without addon stories.

But there's stuff like NPCs which don't even do anything. There's a difference between "adding further content" and "adding essential content".

 

[Rydian]

My beef is with the "should have been there from the beginning" part. A lot of crap minecraft adds doesn't exactly fit that (in fact some people bitch about some added things).

C'mon man... you're just being pedantic. If Minecraft had stayed at beta 1.2, I'd probably still be playing it. From there though, they kept adding features. To say it should have been complete at any given point is to ignore the nature of the game. You can define it however you like of course, I'm just saying it was really fun the day I bought it and it got better and better, and is still getting better. The "completed" version was simply a mile marker and everyone knew it. Everyone knew development would continure, and thankfully, it did. To say NPCs are "essential" is to say that the game is no good without them.. and that just sounds silly to me. How could I possible have ever enjoyed a game so broken and devoid of essential game qualities?

I know you're playing the anti-fanboy role here, but you're stretching it pretty thin.
