For people under a certain age, minecraft is the Internet. If handled correctly, it will be Facebook, email, Skype and damn near everything else to an entire generation of users.

Notch didn't really see it. He created the metaverse.

I think about this often actually. It really could be what second life and lots of other platforms really wanted to be. I think if and when the modding api that they have been promising ever comes out it really could be the metaverse, or at least OASIS.

Really hope they do not wreck Mincraft as much as they wrecked Skype....

Skype was secure and impossible to TAP. Now it is tapped by the NSA.

Skype had a nice and clean UI. Now it's confusing as shit. Crashes. It has ads...

What kind of turd will Microsoft turn Minecraft into.

Woah. That's why I got such tingly feelings when I first started playing.
