Ok, the subject header is NOT for now.  It has to do with my reaction when I first saw Minecraft posted on VGChartz.  I was wondering what the heck this small Indie game is that kept breaking into the news headlines on this site.  Yes, this site was the first site I learned about Minecraft on.  For the longest time I didn't get it at all.  But now, I play it regularly and see where it has come.

Interesting world.  With the 360 version doing gangbusters, it is great to see an Indie game hit it big.  What I am surprised about is someone actually has been ranting that the 360 version is a "waste of time".  Eventhough Microsoft hired a completely different studio to port it over, someone went ranting on and on how that studio should of been hired hired to make the PC version better.  I personally think it is absurd, because the mod community, particularly what is in the Yogbox, have made Minecraft a fully epic game for me.

I think Microsoft works a license that, if they publish something on their consoles, it is an exclusive to their consoles.  Microsoft I believe is the publisher of Minecraft.  It makes business sense for them to do that, as it gets them exclusives.

I would say to look for the invasion of sandbox games to come, and Sony and Nintendo to come up with their own answers to Minecraft.  Even Epic, with Fortnite, is supposed to be coming out with a game inspired by Minecraft.  In short, you know it will be coming.

Things have come far since the beta, particularly with the user generated mods they have for it.  In the Yogbox, I notice I can build an airship, for example.
