Lol, rlly? Who cares? it`s a video game regardless.

Ok worded wrong but kids spend too long on minecraft as if it is the holy grail of gaming - it's not.

It's not a game IMO, it's an application, like MS Paint

Holy grail of gaming? You are getting way ahead of yourself pal. They are playing this game because they get to be _creative_ in it. Most games are static 1-dimensional experiences, you are basically just playing a linear whatever genre game. A very few set of games are open world 2-dimensional games where you get to play and explore.  An even smaller set of games are open world 3-dimensional games where you get to play, explore, and influence/create.

Just to be clear, by dimensions im not talking about physical 1-2-3 dimensional planes. I'm talking about the three of what I call pillars of gaming experience. 

Clearly you do not understand what this game means to millions of people.

This post of yours and the successive you wrote in this thread get in a few lines the essence of a game like Minecraft.
