Any claims of relating to "Minecraft will contain <insert feature that never gets realized>" which will make people say "well now that <insert feature that never gets realized> is included I will finally buy the game".
I don't know how that would fly in court... Notch never signed a finding agreement and I don't think a court would really find much with a simple "He promised me this".
You should really stop talking now, you understand absolutely nothing about law. I would rather not have to destroy your post.
Im just saying that in this world, any legal conflict is possible no matter how ridiculous it is. For f**ks sake, a woman admitted that she intentionally spilled coffee on her lap, and won the lawsuit because the cup didnt say "warning: hot".

... that was a play on ignorance. However I imagine they promised her that it wasn't hot and when she spilled it on her lap she sued them because of a promise.

As stated before you understand nothing about law. If you understood just a bit you would know why she won.
I do understand, im just saying the seemingly ridiculous still has validity in the loopholes of the legal world.
There are no loopholes with promises. She won because there wasn't a warning on the cup and she could plead ignorance. I could go into a shop and see that they're mopping, however if I slip and fall I have a good chance I'd win a legal battle because there wasn't a sign.

I really lmao'ed at that... is it really that shameful?
Why does it matter if you'd win a lawsuit? Notch has promised many more updates, so lets just take his word for it. I'm sure no one here would want him to stop caring about minecraft.

Same applies here. If a large group of people were on the fence on deciding whether or not to purchase MC, and notch says "It's official, <insert feature> will be included in the final release" so you decide to buy the game. Then you receive another notification saying "Just kidding, fooled you" (but in more rational terms), then the group has a valid case for fraud.
All of this assuming the game is no longer in beta.

Nope, the EULA clearly states that you are buying the game as is, you are not purchasing future features.
You bought what was already there, you are not being illegally scammed. What he promised was that he will add a feature to his game that you already paid for, he did not promise that he will add that feature if you buy it. Law is a ***** ain't it.

Yep, but that's never stopped lawyers from f**king the law and finding loopholes.

i doubt he is going to just up and say it finished.

You're using terms like beta and final release and not seeing that those are very gray terms. The "Final release" is subjective itself because the community as a whole has this way of defining the completion of minecraft as "When notch says it is" so why wouldn't he just say "I changed my mind it was never done"?
My point is you can't win with subjective, vague words that can be perceived multiple ways.

It's not hating on haters it's LOVING ON MINECRAFT. Ugh. Lover hater.
Right?

And so your posts are again, without basis or evidence what so ever.
@Anonymous: Could you explain? because thats what i got from the news article...
"Oh i got burnt, it didnt say "HOT" and so i can sue them"
Would you please enlighten me? (no sarcasm)

There aren't any loop holes in this that will give you a strong enough case to win.

Curse PremiumYou would think, but as with MANY other cases you will never know how they can turn the tables.
