    Well, hero from the perspective that he's the protagonist/he's your character. I think there are plenty of RPG characters out there who merit the qualifier. Sent from my Toaster using Tapatalk

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    And that would be double-plus ungood. Actually, the line between criticism and slander is ridiculously complicated. People accuse critics of slander all the time, but equally, slander is not valuable as criticism and we're a little quick to defend people there sometimes, simply because we...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    In a company as large and diverse as Microsoft, different divisions and subsidiaries might as well be different countries. We all know Ballmer had a thing for taking Apple's share of the mobile market, and that this was a.... er, unrealistic goal at best. Sent from my Toaster using Tapatalk

    I was really referring more to its incredible grass-roots popularity and the community taken as a whole (modding and otherwise) but fair enough. Sent from my Toaster using Tapatalk

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    This kind of falls under "the wrong question" because there has never BEEN a game like Minecraft. That being said, let me throw a couple random phrases at you: Garry's Mod. Counterstrike. DOTA 2. I also cut a list of mod developers subsequently hired by corporations. Precedent does...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    People will not like this statement but it's actually a compelling point. I for one would like to see my favourite modders able to make a career of it, if they so choose. It's a little ok extremely unfair that everyone can make a living off modded Minecraft except the modders themselves...

    That's not pirating. That's "making a copy of something you own for backup purposes." You're just letting someone else do the actual copying for you. Sent from my Toaster using Tapatalk

    I don't honestly understand people who make that insanely much money and insist on keeping most or all of it. What the heck are they keeping it for, exactly? Sent from my Toaster using Tapatalk

    Even assuming they do (which I doubt)..... so what? The splash text is cute but hardly impacts your game. Sent from my Toaster using Tapatalk

    They also make very little from the game itself; they use it as a marketing vehicle, mostly to reinvest former players and bring new ones in through "Hey I know you said you didn't want to spend money on a card game but I want you to try it and MTG 2014 is five bucks." Sent from my Toaster...

    That article is being alarmist and unrealistic. Microsoft is not so stupid as to pay $2.5b to deliberately cause a PR disaster. Sent from my Toaster using Tapatalk

    I think it depends on the conversation too. There are a lot of searches you could run in this thread that would be rather non-productive. Sent from my Toaster using Tapatalk
