More shitbags doing shitbag things, I guess.

Doesn't affect me because 1) I haven't played Minecraft in years, even before Mojank sold out to Micro$hit, 2) I never played the Pocket Edition to begin with, and 3) I never signed up for this Lifeboat thing (or, for that matter, even heard of it prior to this story), but still... stories about hacking ( Read more... )

Oh, and speaking of Minecraft Story Mode, there's also this Adventure Pass shit that I didn't know about until now.

So, I guess when I said that I'll be waiting for Minecraft Story Mode to hit a 75%-or-greater discount on Steam, before I actually consider getting it, what I really meant to say was that I'll be waiting for that game and this shit ( Read more... )

To repeat: "Free-ish for the first week." Their words, not mine. After that week (which is already over, anyway, as of today), they'll cost $2.99. And apparently, they "couldn't" give it away completely for free on some platforms even during that week, due to arbitrary bullshit ( Read more... )

They're making a live-action Minecraft movie? Like, seriously?

Okay. This isn't necessarily the absolute dumbest concept for a movie that I've ever heard of, but it's pretty high up there. o_O

Then again, same as with the Telltale game, the fact that Minecraft has zero story at all means that they can do pretty much whatever they want, so... ( Read more... )

I'd forgotten all about that whole thing. (I totally heard the voice of Lee Everett/Bluebeard in that trailer, though, which is not a bad thing.)

Yeah... I'm typically a supporter of Telltale Games, generally speaking, but this? This... well, as I said in the other post, I'm still not going to just completely dismiss it out of hand, but... ( Read more... )

Ha ha ha, what.

Not exactly sure how this in any way constitutes "PC" or "Gaming" or especially "PC Gaming" news, PC Gamer. I don't see why anyone should give a single shit what that sellout buys with the money he got from whoring out to Microsoft. I hope this doesn't become a trend in gaming "journalism."

(EDIT) And now, the damn thing has been recreated ( Read more... )

Telltale Games are apparently making a game based on Minecraft. Huh...

Not quite sure what to make of that. I mean, I love pretty much every Telltale Game I've played so far[1] (e.g. Sam & Max, SBCG4AP, Tales of Monkey Island, Back to the Future, The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, the Wallace & Gromit game that's no longer available to be ( Read more... )

(I said I wasn't going to post about it, but eh... below are my final thoughts on the matter. *shrug*)

So, it's official, then.

And here is Notch's excuse for the whole thing. Kitchen got too hot so he had to bail, taking his ball and whatever portion of that $2,500,000,000 that is his with him ( Read more... )

(I originally put the below as an edit at the top of this post, but I kept adding more and more to it and so decided to cut it back out and make it its own post.)

Just to be crystal clear here, my problem isn't that Notch is selling Mojang.

My problem is that he's selling Mojang to goddamn, motherfucking Microsoft. About the only worse thing he ( Read more... )
