If you've read him more carefully (though it's hard to miss even if you try), there's no contradiction. He praised Minecraft for an absolutely different reason, certainly not UGC, he made that point quite clear several times. And despite how wrong he might be sometimes, he's absolutely right here. Nobody f*cking plays Minecraft for stupid UGC, though even less people play LBP for the same thing :D I played Minecraft to death and never ever bothered with Creative mode. Though that's exactly the kind of Minecraft-related content people usually post on Youtube, yet doesn't mean that's what people find most fun in Minecraft. |
You never built anything? Just wandered around doing nothing?
And I knew someone was going to come in and give me his "excuse" for liking the game. Of course his article awas carefully worded to avoid contradiction. That's what Malstrom does.
You don't know the endless endless constructions people were making in minecraft and posting on chan. There were threads after threads after threads with new content over and over and over. Modding, creating, sharing. If you play Minecraft without building things, you're missing half the game, and all your left with is a pretty shitty game, so don't go trying to tell me you played it to death without getting a little creative with your supplies.
Playing on creative mode is not something that justifies your point. It's an excuse.
EDIT: You also forget that it took him nearly a year to talk about how minecraft is going to be such a huge success, long after it was incredibly obvious how popular it was.
