Those are two very separate arguments. Chrono trigger isn't off the list because Minecraft is in the top ten. Nor are any other games not on the list at all because Minecraft is number 10. 

Reasons is there. It's fun is accessible, it allows for quite a bit of creativity on a scale far beyond most games and is social. So it's beyond "it's very popular" it's all the reasons why it's that popular that got it there on the list. Many could make the argument for it being even higher than 10

I didn't say Chrono Trigger isn't on there because Minecraft is, it's just another example of a game that is far more deserving.

It seems that accessible, and creative are now being held to a higher standard than story, atmosphere, soundtrack, pacing, character development, ect. 

Yeah the facepalm seems about right, but it should be directed at you. You first complained about Super Mario Bros not being on the list, did you do that because it had such a great story, atmosphere or character development? No? Then guess what that means, there's no one set list of boxes that a game has to check to be considered good, great or one of the best ever made. Tetris is in the top 10 as well, I don't see you complaining about that, is it because of its brilliant character development?
