Oh, and on top of that, I bought it maybe a month ago, so I meant to say that I “just RE-downloaded” it. So I’ve given it a good run through. It really is priceless fun. When Notch implements mobs (antagonistic AI), there will be something in Multiplayer to work against. Sooo, MORE PRICELESSNESS.

And surprisingly, the graphics are actually really nice. They don’t have to be EXTREME FANCINESS to be enjoyable. Like, wandering underground on Survival-Single player is actually really creepy at times. You hear the sound of running water through walls and zombies moaning etc…

Plus, the infinite landscape generator also makes exploring loads of win, AND RUNNING WATER PHYSICS! You can even move lava and water with buckets. I mean, how do you beat that?

TL;DR
Minecraft has running water, infinite landscapes, and TONS of future potential. Buy it while it’s cheap.

Oh my friggin goodness, I just downloaded this game 5 minutes ago. It is surprisingly super fun and priceless playing online with people on the latest alpha version. PRICELESS.

from a business point of view if a unfinished game can sell like that then a great one will sell better I think many businessmen wouldn't even predict that happening. Developers just dont make good games anymore, example “system shock 2″ poor graphics, POONT gameplay and history. I think if System Shock 2 was distributed as an "indie game" it would be even a bigger hit. Unfortunately it was released by the time Half-Life came out and nobody noticed it. As an indie game it would slowly build up in the shadows of commercial games and today it would still be selling.

I just started playing minecraft 2 days ago (coincidently, the same day as this post).

Since then I have gotten 8 people to start playing it and all have bought it.

a truly amazing game, perfect in every factor except for that it’s not done yet.

The simplicity works, the game is nice for being alpha! Of course its filled with bugs but who cares? Ah well lots of kids do but I think people should think twice, having access to a game this early is pretty nice and its fun to follow the development in my opinion.
MM, Soldat had this simplicity as well sort of, I mean what is really there? Some running entities, multiplayer and flying bullets. Did it look nice? No, not really. Did it have a nice gameplay? Hell yes!
Good to see an indie developer doing well though, hope link-dead will bring you success as well!

First of all it doesn’t look at all shitty. The only thing I find shitty about the way it looks is the character models.

Also I admit the only good version of minecraft is single player survival, both multiplayer versions are crap. Free version is boring because it’s like you say, lego building. Survival multiplayer is buggy, items do not save, many features are not in/don’t work, but it’s in public beta essentially, but I won’t be playing it until it’s got all the features implemented.

I have to disagree with you about the website, it’s not bad, it’s just a simple layout and I actually like it.
