I was just looking through my Apps on my PC to see whats new. I found this under free. Its a game called Block World Game. This game seems to have been around since June or so.....thoughts?

Ok, I downloaded and tested this game.....
I really hope Microsoft doesn't use ideas from this game for minecraft.
In this game you can download it for free but you must buy block packs to unlock new blocks to build with. It also looks they have another game
called CraftWorld to be announced soon.
This is really concerning to me

I investigated further and can find no connection between Microsoft and this App other than it's presence in the Windows App store and the fact that the company apparently writes games for XBox.

There are plenty of similar offerings from Google Play and I'm sure in the Apple store too, although I don't have an i[device] and have never been there.

Don't read too much into what amounts to one of a multitude of Minecraft Copycats.

The apple devices have a large amount of minecraft rip offs in the App Store as well. I wouldn't get too concerned.
