Minecraft Multiplayer Brought Down by DDoS Attack

This is true. I was just making the point that the game isn't even CLOSE to being finished. The man's trying to start a damn company for chrissake, give him some time...kebab4you said:
They made the decision to buy the game as-is, as we do with commercial products. Just because Valve and company spoil the recent gaming population with free updates doesn't mean anyone has to, or will for that matter. Hell, he could quit right now and not be obligated to continue. Damaging his product isn't going to make a better one.
No they didn't, he was coding before hand. He had to stop coding to work on this problem. What part of "making gigantic Halloween update" do you, and also these attackers, not get? They're not getting what they wanted, they just slowed down what they wanted to happen.Paddin said:
Are you kidding me? The guy goes out of his way to create a game that is closest to a living, breathing world that we've ever had (minecraft fan here). He's a talented game maker and programmer, working by himself (as far as I know) to create something actually fantastic- and this is how you reward him? Tell me, when is the best way to show that you're fans of something is to destroy it?
Let me put this question as simply as I can: What the fuck is wrong with you?

Seems a little redundant to me.
A true fan would just whine about things and do nothing.
They are just messing around with something for no reason other than to satisfy their own pathetic whims.
Heres an idea, instead of bitching about lack of updates, why dont you make your own game and see if you can cope with annoying fans taking down your servers?
Twats.

The thing that really annoys me is that the Halloween update would be up in a week's time anyways.
I've got something to say to the attackers:
Idiots! D:

This actually made me a little mad!
How could you, a disgruntled fan, make yourself any happier by hindering the artist's work? I suppose it would make sense if you were to ask him what is taking so long, but DDoS'ing his site? Making him rush his work?
I hope he somehow finds out exactly who did this, and bans their accounts.

Well done guys. The phrase 'biting the hand that feeds you' springs to mind, along with 'when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail'.
Anyway, I'm sure spending all his time fending off these attacks will make the updates just FLOOD in.

cyber terrorists is what they are! and they are indeed being dicks, if they were that concerned with minecraft then they would probably follow his blog and twitter...and on those he states multiple times that hes busy working on an office and hiring more people, to MAKE THE GAME BETTER!!!
So 4chan has become a Cyber terrorist organization now may be the DHS needs to investigate the founder. A little trip the gitmo might be in order. 
Are you kidding me? No further updates were ever promised! I, unlike most people, actually took the time to read the license agreement (it's not even that long). Notch specifically said that no further updates are guaranteed, and that though he'd like to completely finish the project he wasn't sure that he'd be able to. That's why the price was half what it was ultimately going to be when the game was finished. These guys aren't fans, they're not even seeking justice, they're just morons who skipped the fine print.
Erm wow. Did they forget that this is just in some kind of test phase right now? Plus, how is he supposed to update the game if people won't be able to get online to its servers to receive updates.
No matter what though, these guys are self entitled pricks.
