One of the primary reasons I buy games fer teh xbox.Greyfox105 said:
Somewhat sad that I won't be able to play with the many people I know through my computer, but at least half of them have xbox, so /shrug.
I wonder what Minecraft will do when this comes out.
Make it cheaper? Strive to make it better? Add more features?
While it is commonplace for games to build off of each other (usually through stealing ideas and pretending they are their own *cough*Blizzard*cough*), it would be sweet to see two games like these build directly off of each other, trying to better the other, and resulting in an overall better game.
I smell people calling for a lawsuit with no legal grounds! Everyone here saying he should sue is totally saying that just because he's the current golden boy of indie games.
Why does that make me think this is going to happen:Tom Goldman said:
Chapter 273 released! You can now craft beds! That will be $1 more please.
You can't explain anything to Notch's Nut Lickers. He is a god to them for putting out an unfinished game, giving them tastes of updates they have already paid for (beds, woohoo!) and promptly going on extended vacations because it's hard ripping off people's mods and making them into said sporadic updates (wait, isn't that stealing ideas- the same thing they are bitching about FortressCraft doing?) and being a racist pig?D_987 said:

How is it shopped when http://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/22330335379333120 is what he changed it to a bit later, fanboy?draythefingerless said:Way to post something fake, hater.

Well, I'll give that a based on the same premise. I have nothing against FortressCraft, and I wish it all the greatest success. If the block based digging worlds are a fun idea, I can't see why another one would hurt. Though I think Minecraft may have the market under its control for now.Legendsmith said:
Actually Twitter doesnt censor stuff and you cant edit tweets. Notch made the amazing bigotry thing himself. The word ****** was never written. Like i said, Fake. And a nice joke. GG. And not a fanboy. Just making sure you dont difamate people unjustly.RowdyRodimus said:How is it shopped when http://twitter.com/#!/notch/status/22330335379333120 is what he changed it to a bit later, fanboy?draythefingerless said:Way to post something fake, hater.

Nuts to making a Minecraft remake, I want to see Dwarf Fortress with modern graphics!
That, or Dungeon Keeper 2. The DK3 MMO does not count.

I do hope for the sake of the developer that they have the go-signal from the maker(s) of minecraft. Or I forsee the most onesided case of copyrightbreach in the history of videogames.
A polished version of Minecraft?
We will finally be able to see that Creepers are indeed green penises with a face.

Notch and Mojang have stated they use nor the code nor the names of Minecraft. Therefore, its open game. This is not a lawful problem, but more of a professional ethics problem. Should an indie dev actually advertise their games, say they have better features when copying another game? Infiniminer was dead and open source when Notch picked it up and molded it into something new. The question is if will these guys do the same. I know XNA is extremely EASY to use, so copying the game into C# would been relatively easy. To those guys saying it took this guy only a few weeks to do what NOTCH did in 2 years....understand the facts. Java is much harder than C# or C++, and Notch worked alone, as a hobbie. Having a team of devs DEVOTED to making a game, instead of one guy doing it to pass time, makes it exponentially faster. Also, writting game code out of a game code already in existance(the abstract algorithms, not the actual code) is wayyyyy easier than from scratch. So of course, the game would be made faster than Minecraft was.norwegian-guy said:
