instead of making a good game they focused on their spergfest, because money.
okay

why are you even surprised? hell. notch refuses to put minecraft on steam just because he'll end up with less money to go on vacation with. "indie" game devs are a joke.

that's seriously the reason he won't put it on steam?
what a *crag*ing jew, no wonder this game's never going retail.

As much as I dislike Notch, I can't blame him for this. He's selling thousands of copies per week on his own terms and I can't see a reason for him to put it on Steam. And I can almost respect how Notch doesn't want to collaborate if it's only about the money.

I think the main problem with porting to Steam was that it would be impossible to port the existing user database and login system, complicating things for current users.

muh dick

i dont know much about databases but wouldnt it be as simple as just selling it on steam but giving instructions on where to create an account? when i think about how minecraft would work on steam i think about when you launch it through putting it in your library as a non steam game, steam takes care of launching the game for you but its still the same setup as if you had run it without steam
putting it on steam would just be more advertising basically
notch really doesnt need more money, minecraft is still broken and even with the recent update it hasnt become any more fun. I know somebody's going to bring up being able to trade with villagers but they only trade you items you can easily get. everything is easy to get in minecraft (dont go on a rant about diamonds). they still have dumb ai anyway. everything in minecraft does. its not a good game, it doesnt deserve to be on steam atm until it gets drastic improvements

minecraft could become a really good game if mojang gives it to the modders and artists, but that won't happen, ever. *crag*ing notch.

They could hire a few artists too, forgot to mention that

no i didn't
