The Golden Joystick Awards - an annual award ceremony in which gamers vote on the best computer and video games of the year - recently mentioned Minecraft, citing it as the winner for best downloadable game! This is certainly exciting news for Mojang, as their incredible indie sandbox builder game continues to build momentum leading up to its official launch date in November.

Minecraft has certainly made a huge entrance into the gaming scene, selling over 3 million copies and netting over 15 million registered users while still in beta. Showing no signs of slowing down, this amazing game continues to update, improve and draw in new players every day.

I looked on goldenjoystick.com and there was nothing about Minecraft, I felt trolled.
Then I saw that it was the 2010 awards.
If anyone wants to see the rest of the awards for 2011 you can go here:

I totally saw this coming, as all my friends did also. Minecraft is a wagon now....but come November it'll be a monstrous speeding magnet train...from Sweden

The problem is, we shouldn't consider minecraft to be a indie now, since Mojang is typically a company and is pretty much mainstreamed at this point.
