That's because you didn't read what you agreed upon by paying Mojang, though I do admit that they could do a better job of pointing out what you are getting. You agreed that you are buying the game "as is" with no other promises made to you. If you missed that part then that's hardly anyone's fault but yours.
You're assuming he didn't read the previous agreement which claimed that the game would be constantly updated.
After Notch started making it big time they added that "as is" bull crap. Since then, there hasn't been any meaningful updates with exception of the Halloween update. And no, adding bugs to the game and subsequently fixing them doesn't count as a meaningful update. Neither does arbitrarily saying the game is now in "Beta".

I can't really be bothered to read your whole post
Then don't reply. You missed the entire point of the thread. Most of it was constructive criticism.
I think he should be able to get his money back if he doesn't like the new terms of service. Notch has seemed to show a lack of interest earlier, and we really don't know anything about the Halloween update until it comes out.
According to Minepedia, light ranges from 0 to 15.
15 = 100% Sunlight, Fire, Lava
14 = 080% Torches, Lit Furnaces
13 = 064%
12 ~ 051%
11 ~ 041%
10 ~ 033%
09 ~ 026% Redstone Ore
08 ~ 021%
07 ~ 017% Redstone Torches
06 ~ 013%
05 ~ 011%
04 ~ 009%
03 ~ 007%
02 ~ 005%
01 ~ 004% Brown Mushrooms
00 ~ 004%
Searching this forum, I've heard that 05 is dark enough for mobs to spawn. This would mean (14-05) = 09 is how far away a mob can spawn from a torch and putting torches 17 tiles apart should keep you safe theoretically.
Notch should stop doing secret friday updates until he has somthing to put in them...
be honest, these updates kinda suck. Maybe and update every two or three weeks? Or maybe just an update as soon as he gets somthing done. That way the updates are less troll bait and more...awesomesauce.
Exactly.
Crouching wasn't something worth rolling back code for. In addition, he should never again mention a feature unless he already has it set up and knows he can update it in. Many were expecting too much from this update because of a certain comment.
You guys keep saying this is alpha, I know its alpha...We all know its alpha. The goal is to get from Alpha>beta>Release, correct? Pretty much nothing has happened in the past 2 weeks so at this pace how will we ever make it? Im not saying notch doesnt work hard, in fact i think he works very hard. But everyone has their right to criticize, some people may take it too far but its understandable.
Erm, we've had 6+ updates in the last 2 weeks. How many updates has TF2 or some other game gotten in the last 2 weeks? 1.
Is TF2 in alpha? Hasn't TF2 been a finished product for quite some time now?
The updates lately have been lack-luster. The people who got pissed had high expectations, because they were led on by Notch. They'll probably have calmed down by Monday. I'm not sure why you feel the need to dickride.
The only people worse than the trolls are the dickriders in this forum. Notch has their money. Hell, I'd take all those Euros to put up with bitching on my twitter account any day. No one is forcing him to work on Minecraft, he's doing it for his own pleasure. Programming Minecraft is probably a lot more fun than it is as stressful as the dickriders make it out it be.
The update sucked. Period. Dickriders were saying "get over it" when people were getting still getting the GSoD. Now that everything is fixed, stuff will calm down. You see, the "getting over it" process can only happen once the problem is fixed.
