I remember being surprised that my friend's ten year old kid was playing it back in 2012. The dude is about to get married.

Crouching and not falling off edges was game changing

When Minecraft came out my cousin showed it to me. I told him the graphics sucked and it would never be successful

Minecraft is now older than most of the kids who play it

Game modes? Bah! Creative only. There were no mobs and the water blocks didn't have physics!

I became completely addicted in the real real early days, tried to get whoever I could to give it a shot, and then moved on after a few months. Fast forward nearly 5 years and one of my friends who had no interest in it suddenly sends a novel length IM to me all about this awesome new game, Minecraft.

Minorly annoyed that they didn't keep to the idea that early buyers would have access to future versions across all platforms, but I've more than got my (I think) $8 out of it.

I played Minecraft Beta (2011) when I was a pre-teen thanks to my brother introducing me to it

Minecraft was always for kids. But they're right that kids weren't playing it at the very beginning. The alpha was $10 and you paid Notch directly

Began playing on a Survival server during early Beta. I was 20yo.

Every time I hear someone say "Minecraft is for kids" I cringe. Try playing TPPI or The 1.12.2 pack. Either not for kids or for a very fucking smart bunch of kids.

I bought it in alpha, while I do like it it's not really my kind of game but I've always appreciated what it was and knew that it was a fantastic game.

Putting mods in original Minecraft almost made me smash the computer

I was definitely a kid when I bought it back in alpha...

Minecraft wasn't for kids

Jesus Christ.
