Depends. Would you want to port to a console you have no interest in to get more money when you have so much money you have no idea what to do with it all?BioHazardMan said:
I thought the answer to that question was the incredible complexity of MMO's and RTSes?draythefingerless said:
I wasn't trying to imply that Microsoft was behind it, I was only using them as an example, you could replace Microsoft in that sentence with your asshole publisher of choice, that's up to you. Also, I won't believe that FortressCrap was not made for profit until I get legitimate proof from the indie dev themselves that they made a carbon-copy of Minecraft after the fact for a legitimate non-ripping profit-based reason. "Oh, Minecraft isn't on Xbox, so let's just make our own and put it up there so anyone who doesn't have Minecraft yet can buy it and say 'oh, I was there from the beginning' when the game takes off among non-Minecrafters like crispy M&Ms or something."Pugiron said:
Welcome to the world of modern video games, where creativity is crushed by the safe bet. If people don't like it stop buying CODMW X and MASS effect x and madden xx ect (not saying that to you specifically just in general).draythefingerless said:
Well, you can't really blame Mojang for having not brought Minecraft to consoles yet, seeing how it's still very much in beta and is being changed constantly.similar.squirrel said:
On top of this i'm already not very satisfied with the snails pace that new content is coming out for minecraft at. I would hate to see the Mojang team spread themselves too thin by trying to port an unfinished game to other systems. I don't see anything but the complete collapse of the game coming from that. If not, it'll be a year before anything interesting comes out for minecraft and my level of interest is waning as it is.Nero Haven said:
I didn't mean to make it sound as derogatory as it did. I meant that I don't play much console games. I would love to see how this game does. I mean, the best part of Minecraft is the ability to do nearly everything you could want, gives you complete creative control. Consoles need this kind of stuff. There were so many awesome creations made in Mod Nation Racers. In a lot of ways I feel that this is the way video games should be. Not all, but at least some.Sovvolf said:

Thats AAA. but from the Indie department? Makes no sense other than greed buddy. Triple A games have budgets and risks and peoples with jobs to worry about? But indie devs? They have nothing to lose in trying sth new and fresh. THAT is why i feel this is silly and sad. Because the only motivator to do this is laziness, and perhaps greed.Richard Allen said:
I don't blame you for not believing it, I'm not claiming for a fact that it isn't for the profit, I just think its a little unlikely. Specially if they are true to their word on the whole 80mp thing. They'd be getting about £0.50 per buy which isn't really going to do well for profit. They could easily bump it up to a higher price and I imagine people would buy it. That and even they probably know that the market for what they are offering is pretty small. Most people have PC's decent enough to run it and they have mod support, keyboards and a whole lot of other perks on the PC version.Kayar13 said:
Wait till I can afford a better computer to play it, or go for the poor mans Minecraft? I'd go with the poor mans Minecraft. New computers are expensive. As for not being able to run it, yeah my computer has problems running most games... Its a piece of shit but I'm stuck with it.Kayar13 said:
hey, it's basically a more polished version of the game for a dollar.Pugiron said:
