Someone explain to me why Minecraft is so popular

shdw01 · Jul 10, 2013

I admit I'm not a fan of games like the Sims, or those roller coaster builder games....i guess i'm not creative enough....but at least with those games I can understand the appeal.

Even crap like Farmville and Bakery Story make sense to me. Like those Furbys and stuff where you are kind of raising things.

Minecraft looks like such a crap cheap game. And I think it has far surpassed other games which at least look a little bit entertaining. Is there something about this I don't get? Does the game pay you if you make a certain structure? Do you get to fight other people? Is there like a Minecraft sportsbook somewhere that isn't widely advertised?

Never heard of it. I'm not a big gamer anyways. I see everybody playing Candy Crush. I can't get into it though.

Pretty much every woman I know plays this game to death. The worst part is the notifications on FB; so-and-so mixed striped candy with wrapped candy. Who gives a flying fuck? I don't get the obsession...however I have never played so maybe I'm missing out on the most awesome thing since sliced bread but I highly doubt it.

Holy ballsack! That's unreal. I'd be content to just make $600 a day, and I'd even work for it.

My 7 year old also plays it and he drove me nuts for the paid iPad game so I bought it for him. It looks like it's from the 1980's, but people or kids play it. I have no idea what it's all about.

Owner is a genius . Understands habits, addictions . Create An environment where ur dependent on ur 'friends ' (Internet friends , the mind can take over ..) where u dont want to disappoint . Eventfully some want to increase 'status' , send monies via ****** for this . PURE genius is the creator . Kids need help or else they WASTE away with this rubbish

I have a shared cubicle with other shift supervisors and often the on shift maintenance guys hang out in there. I came to work the other night and walked into the cube to three adult redneck males all playing Candy Crush.

BTW I'm on level 50.

It's a pain in the ass to play when you don't connect it to Facebook or play without paying any money.

I'm obsessed with Slingo. Combines Bingo with Slots.

I would rather watch grass grow. That sounds horrible.

Dial Up Internet... AOL.... Slingo... all the same category
