(NBC News) – Say the word “Minecraft” among a group of parents with young children and you’re pretty much guaranteed to hear how their kids are “addicted” to it, with some referring to it as “Mine-crack”.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
Ben Porter from Newzoo explains that the player base has very little overlap with mainstream hits such as Assassin's Creed: Shadows and Ghost of Yōtei
I used to buy cheap games thinking I’d play them later, but I always ended up returning to my favorites. Now I skip the deals unless I know I’ll play the game soon.

Can’t really expect a 8 year old Roblox kid to go buy resident evil 9 lol

Parenting is going downhill quick, this new generation of kids will be the next "zombies", all day in front of a screen.
I remember my parents "asking me nicely" to turn off my SNES, and hiding the power cord until my homework was ready.
Now parents use electronic devices as "nannies" because they are also busy in front of the TV all day, and as soon as the kid is distracted at school or something, they get loaded with ADD meds
oh who cares. When I was a kid I spent hours and hours playing with legos. This is lego for the younger generation but with more ability to create things. I personally don't like to play Minecraft because it's an enormous time sink, but I can see why kids do.
Mindcraft.. that's what I thought it was called when I first heard of it back in 2011.
My bro (3) saw me playing minecraft and he loves building stuff. It's good for kids. Keeps creativity up.
