And the rage machine of the Escapist forums continue. Hands up if you actually watched the video before commenting?

He never said he didn't approve of the game or didn't like it. He said he didn't get its popularity and doesn't know about the game.Charli said:
He also said that he'd check it out to see why it was popular.
This is that awkward moment where 50 Cent of all people has shown more of a open mind than a lot of people in this forum who reacted to an attention grabbing article title that didn't match the context of the article.
Now how sad is that?
It was more a facetious jab at the irrelevancy of the article. We're quite well aware of the attention grabbingness of it your bigheadedness I was simply giving the expectation in an overblown reaction.AzrealMaximillion said:
But I still could not care less what 50 Cent has to say on video games. About as much as I care what he has to say on Tampons.
But alas, a person with fame said a thing.
Haha, who bussing cares what he thinks? 50 Cent is a hack. Besides why is a "musicians" opinion news? He is not involved with gaming. This is just gossip designed to get page views, it's worked at least.
His opinion is relevant to CES because he's had electronics products there for the past few years. He owns a headphone company that's made him a decent amount of money.Evil Smurf said:
I'm not here to defend the guy's music, but you gotta give credit where credit is due. He is a very successful businessman worth hundreds of millions of dollars and the possibility of him investing in other electronics tech at CES like the Oculus Rift among other products is something I wouldn't turn away simply because he's a rapper. Most rappers do not make that much money off of their music. It's usually endorsements, outside businesses and investments.
He also said he'd check out Minecraft to see for himself why it's so popular, and I for one am glad to see him be open to try out things outside his normal day to day. If it means 50 Cent starts investing in awesome technology then he can have whatever opinion he wants regardless of whether you like him or not. The OP was poorly written when you actually look at the content of the video and seems more to be here to defend Minecraft against a non-attack rather than give info on what was said.
I'd honestly like to see more of what he says on the business end of things to be honest. Even 50 Cent has seemed to have given up on music. It doesn't make him as much money.
I don't know, but I'm hoping you'll tell me considering you felt so compelled to open up the article and comment on it.thewatergamer said:
But yeah, that is a hella misleading headline. It sounds more like he just doesn't know why it's popular. Which is pretty easy to understand, because at a quick glance, it doesn't seem like an interesting game and he hasn't rutting played the game yet. The headline sounds like it's just trying to bait Minecraft fans into getting upset.
Am I the only one who actually liked 50 Cent: Bulletproof a bit? It was an alright game, not amazing, but it wasn't super horrible, gameplay wise.
