Minecraft has reached the point where Mojang is rolling in a fortune. I've seen this with COUNTLESS other developers/companies (CoD for example) that crap out on their fans, and abandoning their game to indulge in their cash. Is this happening to Minecraft? I mean think about it for a second. Credits in a sandbox/survival game? Especially when the game has NO limit to what can be accomplished? Also, the lack of storyline and plot make the credits confusing and irrelevant. Did they think of this, and throw this down in a matter of hours to "complete" their game? I think they got a bit lazy, and satisfied with their earnings, and ceased it with the ending. *sigh.* :c Discuss the matter.
I think 3/4ths of the ending can be deleted. Sometimes I find it to be ridiculous not only in length but what it says. How about get straight to the point?
So writing down some pretty inspiring stuff is lazy? What were you expecting, a rendered video with real-time shadows and orchestral music, with your player walking into the sunset? I think the ending is fine as is. Minecraft is supposed to be an Indie game.
Just because you aren't satisfied with the ending, doesn't mean Minecraft's "ending" is terrible. It's just another section of the game, a simple message, and a great one at that.
People need to stop complaining.
How is a bunch of useless blibbidy blech inspiring? I am not satisfied. Minecraft's ending is terrible.
It may not really "end" the game, like others have said. But it's poorly written. Despite being very confusing, I could understand a few things from it:
- Bunch of philosophical lessons. Really? In a game such as Minecraft?
- It was all a dream. So all I've done was meaningless?
- It eliminates any possibility for a plot. So every player could imagine his/ her own story and all those dungeons and creatures and stuff... but no it was just a dream. Terrible.
When a game doesn't have any background or storyline, and it's a sandbox survival game, an ending is extremely unnecessary, unless it has a beginning, and even the slightest bit of story.
You have to back up your opinion with fact.
one can't just say "THIS BOOK IS THE BEST EVAR"
Then someone says "ok prove it."
"NO IT'S JUST MY OPINION".
You can't prove this is a good piece of writing.
It's a cliched theme, or message, redundant, try hard, long winded and just plain idiotic.

I didn't say the writing was good. Whether it is good or bad is, indeed, not just opinion.
Whether you like it or not is. You say opinions need to be backed up with facts. Why? Opinion is a matter of liking something or not, not hard facts.
I haven't read it in it's entirety, but I like the idea, although it seems a bit excessive and out of place. That is just my opinion, however.
Because in a mature community, such as a scholarly one who discusses GOOD literature, you can't just say you like something for no reason.
When you get rejected from college because your essay was ****, you can't say "THAT'S JUST YOU OPINION".
When you say a book is "A literary masterpiece" (as some have said about this pathetic "ending"), you can't just say "IT'S JUST MY OPINION".
If you can't back your opinion up with fact, you are just projecting.
Of course, since you still have a high school definition of opinion you don't understand this.

You keep going back to the sheer quality of the writing itself. As I said, I agree that is not just opinion.
But if something appeals to you, for whatever reason, that's not something you need to back up.
In my opinion, blue is the best color. Are you saying I need to do extensive research and back that up with hard facts?
- Bunch of philosophical lessons. Really? In a game such as Minecraft?
Why not?
- It was all a dream. So all I've done was meaningless?
It's a game, there isn't any meaning to what you do apart from the entertainment value of doing it. Why does the game need to validate you? Are you incapable of just having fun?
- It eliminates any possibility for a plot. So every player could imagine his/ her own story and all those dungeons and creatures and stuff... but no it was just a dream. Terrible.
Dream worlds can have extensive back stories and even plots, so no, it doesn't eliminate any possibility for a plot. The world is still open to interpretation.

With literature you do.
I know this is difficult for the teenage mind to understand, but you can't just say "THIS IS THE BEST EVER AND MY OPINION MEANS NO ONE CAN ARGUE THAT I'M WRONG".
That's not how it works.
Writing that's good is good for reasons. Not just because everyone's "opinion" is that "One flew over the cuckoo's nest" is a good book.
A opinion that can't be backed up with literary citations and proof is just projecting.
Wait till you grow up kid, then you'll understand. Take a college writing or English class. If you tried your "opinion" crap there the professor would fail you and kick you out of the class.

Everything you do in minecraft is meaningless anyway.
You don't need to or have to build a house and mine, you choose to.
It seems most people are like "OMGZ IT DOS NOT MAK SENZE! NOTCH IZ SO LAZY! OMG I CULD RITE SOMTIN BETA!"
I suggest people stop whining and just wait until the end of the credits and carry on with their minecraft world.
It's not it doesn't make sense.
It's the idiot that think it has some "deep meaning" when notch even said it was a stupid idiotic over dramatic ending.
You also don't run around calling literature a piece of ****, saying it's unconditionally bad, and that anyone who disagrees is a 15 year old.
Just saying.
I never called literature ****.
It is bad and I've provided reason for my opinion unlike you children.
Anyone who thinks you don't have to give reasons for an opinion is a child.

Right, okay. Guess I'll get the fact that I am 22, soon 23, and approaching my 4th year in college out of the way.
I don't know why you keep going back to the writing quality of the ending, as I have, several times now, agreed that it is indeed not just opinion.
Yeah, the people who praise the ending as a great work of literature are a bit off, but I have also seen people say they like it, not for any literary value, but because the concept appeals to them.
Again, I am not arguing the quality - or lack thereof - of the ending. Just that some people may like it despite it's flaws.

The concept is the most cliche thing I have ever seen.
All it needed was an alien invasion to make it even more juvenile and idiotic.
I don't see how an adult could find such a overused concept "compelling" in anyway. If they do, they are idiots.
