I love Minecraft, I've built like three huge castles. One of them is on youtube, just find Seelad and look toward the top of my videos. Minecraft gets VERY addicting..
Bought it in October, loved it since October, can't wait for Beta.
[quote]No point buying you can get for free off a load of websites
That is what I did. The only point in buying the game would be for multiplayer.[/quote]
You guys don't see WHY there is a price, huh? It's to support the people that MAKE the game. If they don't make money, they can't make games anymore. Idiots, gawd...
No you can download it without paying and get the same exact game with updates
Yep, we should all do that, until every single game developer is either scared to the point where they won't make games, or where they go bankrupt. Like Zega said, the money goes to the game dev, who just started a company. I love the work he's done on Minecraft, so I definitely will be buying the game. And no, you can't get "the exact same game with updates", as it checks your account to see iof it is premium before it puts you into a MP server.
Bobby minecraft is a game where you can literally change your enivronment. It's like lego but in a virtual world. It's very addicting and amazing. Definitely try it out: minecraft.net
Minecraft has sold over 800,000 copies only in alpha now. So the creator is a millionaire now. I think he gives money to his buds that help him with the game.
