Minecraft To Officially Launch 11/11/11

tekgoblin writes "Minecraft has currently sold about 2 million copies and it's still only in beta. However, the developers have just announced that the game will officially launch on 11/11/11. The date 11/11/11 was actually chosen because it falls on the same date as other various game releases, the most notable being Skyrim."

    I still don't get why it's so popular.
    It's complete crap. It's not fun. It doesn't even look good.
    25 years of gaming and minecraft takes the prize for the most baffling 'hit'.

    This comment might set a record for downmoderation. Since i have dared insult the latest crap fad.

      You sound like such a pompous jackass, I'm surprised anyone would want to talk to you anyway. Seriously? You dismiss people who don't profess to like exactly what you do? Facebook, Minecraft or Twitter usage doesn't automatically make someone unworthy of conversation, especially since all these things are pretty popular. I'd stay in the basement if I were you. You're obviously not ready for the real world.
