Lol, I'm probably the few people that just hate hearing news from games like Minecraft and Angry Birds.

What do these games have in common?!



Insane, just insane and shows what a strong plattform XBL has been for indie developers. I hope MS can repeat the sucess on X1, but they are playing Into the hands of grumpy indie developers too much. Btw, never liked the game on PC, but loved it on XBL :).

Yeah Microsoft took a HUGE risk bringing Minecraft to their console. Is it even fair to call this an indie game anymore? May as well call COD an indie game. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Do people know how much MS pushes Arcade games through XBL?

It's not like MS had to take a risk of any kind with Minecraft... ¬_¬

Its only one of many indie games MS has sought out for their platform.

Anyhow, no way they anticipated this level of success.

Probably not. But since it had proven itself on PC beforehand, it was a safe bet.



Wow, just wow, congratulations.

I think it one of those games that the more you put into it, the more you can and want to do. Like I couldn't understand why anyone would ever want to play SimCity. Then my roomate showed it, next then I know it's early in the morning and he is asking me to get off so he can go to sleep.

I know they talked about Kinect in Minecraft, can anyone say if they released much? Does it do any Kinect thing?

I remember them showing scanning, and even scanning people in the trailer.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

LOLZ!  Minecraft is apparently too "mainstream" now for all the hipster gamers out there.

Notch is just a corporate sellout tool confirmed.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

I'd call that a smart business decision.  Sorry that they didn't sink millions into publishing gems like "Lair".

Thanks for completely missing the point of my post!
