Markuss Person shouldn't talk, Minecraft doesn't even have dedicated servers, and his new game is going to implode much harder.

 

I think you got it wrong, hear me out.

on call of duty , you run a server by being a host sure, but you are still using Activision's servers, you are just being the host , a second part connection to the main server (activision) and when you log off, thats why it searches for a new server instead of just logging off.

the same is true for a lot of console games.

on minecraft what you do is set an actual server, like a computer on the side so it can run a server and then use ANOTHER computer to invite your friends to the game and as long as this server is up , its going to play, Mojang has no connection to you at all, hence no dedicated server clients thing, on XBL it uses XBL's servers, just like any console game.

While I know what you're talking about, I have no idea why you think Minecraft is going to implode.  You don't require an Internet connection to play the game last I heard.

Sim City does.  Sim City requires you to connect to their server.

his other game is  "Always online" MMO , what I am saying is that he shouldn't talk about that , because given how massive his fanbase is, his new game is going to have the same issues.
