Why does everyone like minecraft?

It's not that great of a game. And before you say it, I'm smart, and I'm creative. I play Gmod cause it's a good build/destroy game. You should all play wizard101, now there's a game worth paying and playing!

I asked that same question myself, I think it's due to how they publicized it.

God knows why… Its a badly graphiced game and has no plot whatsoever other than get a better pickaxe

It's because there's no frustration, you shape the world you want (even if it does not fully function the way you want), it has a bit of charm with the 2D pixel graphics style into a 3D world, and it's a place where many kinds of people can socialize (emphasis on "social).

No. Wizard101 isn't better then Minecraft.

Because maroon 5 likes it duh

-sigh- It's because of what you can do. It's not the graphics that make it a good game, it's what you can do with pixels. It's literally building with pixels. Then there's the added difficulty of mobs such as zombies, creepers, skeletons, etc. Build a home and survive, or go into creative mode and build anything to your heart's desire. And honestly, I don't care much for MMO's, or Wizard101.

Because they want to, just as you want to play a different game

Cause you could make custom stories in it or install much mods in it.
