I bought it for myself and two other people, pre-beta.
And I set up my own server.
I think it is safe to say I love it.

 

[Delusibeta]

Bought it, but haven't gotten really into it yet.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Tried the free trial. Thought it was decent fun. Decided to move on to other stuff...

I'll likely never buy.

I was the type to build LEGO sets and basically use them as action figures, though.

 

[LawlessSquirrel]

I tried it, it didn't really draw me in.

I'll just continue admiring it as a spectator.

 

[New Troll]

No interest, mainly due to time restraints. Ten, fifteen, and especially twenty years ago I would have been all over this!

 

[Serenegoose]

It's not really my thing. I'm very happy it's sold so well, but there's nothing in it that speaks to me, which is a shame, but there we go.

I went so far as to build a webcomic from it!

I love minecraft, it is the perfect game. You set your own difficulty via the things you decide to build, it makes me use my imagination more then any other game and essentially its the new lego. What's not to love!

 

[erbkaiser]

I am completely in awe with some of the creations of people, myself, I just play it occasionally. I have carved out a small castle in my world by now though.

 

[dex-dex]

If i had the money and time i would be on that icing on a cupcake!

 

[DSK-]

Truthfully I'm not really interested in it. I don't think I would play it a lot. I still have K'nex I can build stuff with.

 

[Moriarty70]

I'm Minecrafting right now

 

[JediMB]

I'll never buy it.

Not because I think I wouldn't enjoy it, but because I suspect it would eat my life.

 

[Jezzascmezza]

I'm planning on trying it one day, when I find some of that oh so glorious spare time...

 

[latenightapplepie]

I love Minecraft so much, I want to take it behind the middle school and get it pregnant.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I said this in another thread but:

I tried the free trial, built a doom-tower and, after feeling satisfied, went on my way. I wouldn't buy the full game since the free version was enough to satisfy me. It was neat but I've had my fill.

 

[Fr]anc[is]

I do. And I either start projects that are way too huge or I'm too OCD about stuff

 

[UnravThreads]

I'll be honest. I don't even really know what Minecraft is.

I've known of it for some time, but I've just never felt any desire to find out more.

 

[Patton662]

I used to Minecraft all the time. I hardly play it nowadays, I dunno why.
