      Got MC for something like $10 in their early alpha/beta period. Probably my most played game over the last 10+ years with how many times I’ve gone back to it and dived into one modpack or another. It’s just astounding the amount of momentum that game has had, with both Mojang developed content and fan developed.

        Yup, a friend harassed me into buying the alpha two days before the deadline, while it was still 10E

        I think I paid 12.99 and it’s crazy in this age DLC that I’ve gotten 10 major content updates completely free… I fucking love MC. Got 2 of my kids hooked on it too so far

        Minecraft is grand! But I got kinda stumped when Microsoft bought Mojang back around update 1.8. 0, and instantly tried to screw up all the modders.

        Some of the mods have come back, and many new created, but it just doesn’t feel the same to me. :(

          I don’t think I got into modding until after that, after it got much easier to use. There are definitely some fantastic mods and packs being released these days though. It’s definitely still a vibrant scene.
