This whole thing is just snobbishness. You people should be ashamed of yourselves.
Regardless of the reputation console players have, the fact is that Minecraft just isn't attractive to "hardcore" CoD players and 12-year-olds hyped up on sugar. The kinds of people it appeals to are people like you. People like you who don't have great PCs or prefer console games, but still value deep creative experiences like Minecraft. My girlfriend is one person who prefers using a controller for games, and who likes to sit in the bedroom, not at a desk, when playing games.
I play the hell out of the game on the PC, and yet I will still probably play the console version as well, just because of the ready social structure of xbox live.
The fact is the console version's existence isn't going to change **** about the game or the community. In fact, it's people like YOU that make communities like this worse: you think you are so much better than another demographic that you stereotype like all hell, so they come here and think that it's normal to be a bigotted moron who whines and screams about change.
Go sit in the corner, you all, and let the console players have some fun too.
If it makes you feel any better, Notch is barely connected to the console project. He can put his full attention to what PC gamers love, and Microsoft can work on what they know console gamers love. I think it will work out.

I'm sure we can put our differences beside us. For Science. You monster.
You could install your laptop on the bed and play Minecraft?
It is going to be possible to play on your sony ericsson and xBox 360.
But... I am already walking to the corner of my epic building. But it just takes so long... maybe because its epic... :smile.gif:

I would call myself a "hardcore" CoD gamer. I absolutely love the war genre, and when I'm not playing Minecraft, I can be found on Black Ops multiplayer, and it's not the only part of the series which I've wasted my time away on. However, I also spend much time on TF2, Dead Space, Indie games, and a broad variety of other games. But I do doubt that every CoD gamer has as wide of a gaming palette as I seem to.
Expanding on my last post, what's the point of this topic? You're just raging.

FYI, Sony has decided to port it to the Xperia Play instead of PS3. It was their decision. Blame Sony, not Mojang. While Microsoft is porting it to the Xbox 360.
I think Sony's got the right idea, actually. Minecraft makes a great mobile experience, just like Pokemon and Tetris did on the gameboy. These are all games that work really well in short doses.
I think that console gamers are potheads, you know why? Cause EVERY ONE I've met irl is always STONED OFF THEIR ASS and I don't even live in a poor location.
I'm not biased towards a console either, I ****ing hate Microsoft because it's a douchebag company run by douchebags. I hate Microsoft for being Microsoft, I hate console gamers because they're potheads.
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE
Look at mister hipster.
And let me guess, Linux is perfect, ain't it?
Just leave, you obviously don't care about being fair minded.
This thread is just full of bashing! Amazing, but I'm not feeding the trolls.
I'm kinda sad that minecraft goes to xbox and not wii. I mean, a white pickaxe extension for the wiimote? DO WANT
To be honest, I find the bashing in this thread more entertaining than the thread's actual topic. But just to keep it on topic:
Why should it matter how other people play their game? Some like it on PC, some like it on console and some like it exclusively for their choice. Complaining about it isn't going to help solve much.
I guess you could say that I find both this thread's original post and the opinions of which this thread is directed to be quite silly.
You're prejudiced against people who are prejudiced.
Ok... That means you're prejudiced against the people who are prejudiced against prejudiced people. You're are an arrogant stubborn asshole who is unwilling to backdown to a verbal dispute in which everyone is attacking you, you lost.
Just leave, you obviously don't care about being fair minded.
Nothing is perfect.
A huge majority of your precious programs are written by developers using Linux.
Not everyone has enough blood to tithe off to the corporate vampire every other month.
People hate consoles because they're over run with brats.
If you cared about being fair minded you wouldn't single out people who aren't fair minded.
Hate to break it to Mr Hipster, but a lot of the early pioneers in home computing were hippies who probably smoked dope once in awhile. You don't think Ken and Roberta Williams smoked a little? Then you never played Leisure Suit Larry.... :smile.gif:

How is this raging? Doesn't raging require anger? Annoyance and anger aren't the same thing, dude.
And look at you trying to be cute by pretending that a person shouldn't talk about something he perceives as damaging. Here, have a cookie.

Potheads? Pedobears? Do you have any data to support the idea that the people who play on the 360 are potheads? Or pedophiles?

Chew on that.
Not to mention Nolan Bushnell and Steve Jobs.
