Mojang Crushes Valve, Opens "The Minecraft Store"

[fanklok]

one for $3 or in packs of 5 for $18

Normally when you offer a bulk deal it costs less, come on now you've got to learn the basics of economics if you want your store to be successful.

Oh, I get it; the real joke was Mojang making it past the second round of the developer contest.

 

[Grufflenark]

Lol.

 

[superbatranger]

Damn it! That raptor stole my keys!

 

[Daystar Clarion]

"The concept of a "Company Store" selling low-priced virtual novelty items for use in a videogame is certainly a fresh one and I think Notch and the rest of the team at Mojang deserve credit for pioneering this new and unique approach to customer service. Innovations like this are precisely why I like to support indie developers over bloated corporate machines like Valve, who just don't have what it takes to come up with this kind of original idea. Good job, Notch!"

You're kidding right? It was Valve that did it in the first place. It's called the Mann Co Store on one of their games called Team Fortress 2? Check your facts before you write stuff like that.

Oh the irony. If you bothered to check your facts, then you'd realise that it's an April fool's joke.

Thats part of the joke though <.<

indeed. just hope they get rid of the chests soon. don't fancy having to build around them.

I am ashamed to say that I fell for this. Then again, I didn't read the article I just went straight to the "store".

 

[Eggsnham]

Dammit... I wanted that Greifer's disguise, but the raptor won't let me have it

Damn raptors...

Wait... raptors sounds like creepers... they both end in "rs"...

HOLY SHIT! NOTCH IS ADDING RAPTORS TO THE GAME!

[sub][sub]If anyone takes this seriously, I will derisively laugh at you.[/sub][/sub]

RAPTORS YOU SAY?!?!?!?!?!?!?! IT'S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE! BUT I BELIEVE IT ANYWAYS!

*Caps lock off.*

Hehe, fiddlesticks.

 

[minimacker]

Best. April Fools Joke. EVER.

HOLY SHIT, RAPTORS.

 

[MaG iiC 3E]

Damn it, these April Fools jokes always get me.

:O Raptors? OH HOW AWESOME! THANKS FOR SHARING THAT KNOWLEDGE. /seriousend

 

[DigitalAtlas]

It's not April 1st, guys. Seriously. NOT April 1st.

Guess I need to be skeptical of every article I read both on April 1st and the days adjacent to it. Excellent.

Yes, seriously. Games that do this type of thing deserve no credit and I sincerely hope the OP was being sarcastic.

Heck, even Maplestory has down this since their launch. And, c'mon, need I mention horse armor?

 

[imnot]

Christ now it plays a rickroll with a kazoo aswell!

 

[imnot]

and even if it was sarcastic you also have to remember sarcasm doesnt work when written as you have no idea what the tone is. bloody oath.

I knew it was sarcasm :3

 

[Bloodstain]

Oh boy, good one. Got me.
I'm proud of you.

 

[Andy Chalk]

I think the gag would've been even better had it come in, say, August, because then it'd be absolutely nothing but Notch spiking the ball in Valve's end zone. And that would be AWESOME.

(But I still love you, Valve.)

 

[Sodoff]

I gots rickrolled!!! Oh noez!

 

[Bravo 21]

until i clicked on the link, i couldn't tell if he was being serious that no one else would think of this, and then going to mention valve by name. Good april fools joke though.

 

[AngryFrenchCanadian]

Guys, it's not the first of April anymore.
