Doesn't mean it isn't extremely popular to the point of mass sales of Minecraft paraphernalia

good thing i didnt say that huh

All I'm saying is that you can call it bad or "poop" all you want it doesn't erase the facts that it is a very popular and hugely profitable game.

same with angry birds

I think it sells on a lot of hype. The majority of the game is based on what other people can do. You see the small portion of the community that can build the Taj Mahal or the Disney castle or something and people go wow that must be pretty easy to do and they try and come up with something that resembles manbearpig in retrospect.

Does this mean the game is bad? No, but I think that most of the people play in an attempt to be creative then give up when they realize how much work they must put in to be that creative

And this is where the, "The game is bad it's just playing with Lego", and other sayings like it come in. People don't understand that it takes a lot of patience, skill, intelligence, and time to make someone great in Minecraft.

Until they buy it and attempt to get a refund

I've steered away because I know I am not creative or patient in that respect.
