Hello, i really want to get minecraft but my dad doesn't like to spend money on videos games (expecially on the internet). I need some way to convince my dad to get minecraft for me :sad.gif: Please Help!
Ask him why he won't buy you it.
It's a safe, legal, virus free game if his worrying bout that.
Try letting him play the PC gamer or whatever demo.
Show him the reviews.
Do some work round your house to get the money.
Show him videos.
Show him the forums
Show him all the reviews.
Show him all the youtube videos
Tell him that this game won GotY indie.
Tell him that OVER 9000 people have bought the game.
Tell him the following
"Look,i'm either spending this cash on minecraft or on prostitutes"
Its not 9000 people, its over two million copies of the game sold O.O
I know right?
People always suggest that when we get one of these "how can I convince my dad to buy me the game" threads. The last thing you want to do is show a responsible parent this "wretched hive of scum and villainy". j/k
It costs like $20. Save up money, ask him to buy it, pay him back if he does.

Minecraft is a game about placing blocks to build anything you can imagine. (Source)
Anything built within Minecraft, using only Minecraft, without using bugs, is legit.
If you don't want to build mob traps, that's fine. Just don't tell us it's cheating.
1) Go outside
2) Mow some lawns, sell lemonade, or whatever it is kids do these days to earn cash
3) Walk over to 7-11 or where ever pre-paid credit cards are sold and get one
4) Download minecraft
5) ??????????????????????
6) Profit!!
(tell your parents it was free if they ask... lol)

this would be the best way to buy it, just add this card to a paypal account and buy it, they dont have to know it cost money, you didnt use thier credit card!
1) Make sure your room is clean and your chores are done
2) Show him your report card with your awesome grades
3) Tell him you work hard and need to relax
4) Explain that Minecraft is educational, creative, non-violent and has no sexual content
5) Offer to to wash his car and do some extra chores
6) Tell him that OTHER dads recommend this game for their kids. (I have 4 kids and 2 who play Minecraft)
In your best Marving the Martian voice, tell him you need it so you can finish your Illudium Pu-36 space modulator in order to blow up the earth. If he ever watched Loony Tunes, you will have a new game...

I'm guessing this kid is probably 10 and his dad is still too young to remember Looney Tunes.
Whatever you decide to do, don't lie, steal, or humiliate your dad in any other way. Or you will not even be allowed to buy it for yourself when you turn 16 and get a job.

Convince him it's also used as an educational tool. Try googling "minecraft in school". There are many teachers that use it as a tool to try and teach children the teamwork, resource management, etc. If all else fails make him play it, he'll want to buy it for himself!

Yes But also the kid trying to get minecraft may say; "But dad you can only play it for 3 minecraft days then you have to buy it"
Its not 9000 people, its over two million copies of the game sold O.O
I know right?
1. You'll give him the money and purchase the game safely and LEGALLY
2. You'll pirate the game then report HIM for 'stealing' it as I'd imagine your 'net connection is in his name.
He'll either buy you the game or punch you in the face!

I hate when people use the wrong tool on a block, I'm just really annoyed by their ignorance :tongue.gif:
edit: oh and I disagree with minecraft being anything at all like WoW

Either he buys you MC or you'll be defenseless from the creepers trying to blow up your house.
Then rig your house with C4.
