"People need to understand that Minecraft isn't a game anymore," claimed Andrew "Redigit" Spinks, creator of indie hit Terraria, "it's a genre." Of course, he could have merely been defending his own creation against accusations of being a Minecraft clone. But I think he has a point. A quick glance through the most popular games on Xbox LIVE Arcade will make it pretty clear that Minecraft is no longer the only blocky sandbox building game out there.
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.
This is very true, my nephews grew up on these two games and whenever I introduce them a AAA game whether old or new, it's like seeing an alien try to make sense of it and then quickly lose interest in it.
Can’t really expect a 8 year old Roblox kid to go buy resident evil 9 lol
Gaming trends are so weird to me now. Like, I’m old school and games were consumed essentially how movies were. You play through a title and look forward to the sequel or other things that came out. Now, that is so not the norm.

I don't think the guy has to worry about Terraria being a clone of Minecraft....just a game which got inspiration from it.
Now FortressCraft....THAT's a clone
Anyway I know your basicaly comparing a 2D game to a 3D game but the updates to Terraria are amazing, you always get so much more out of them then the updates to Minecraft. The 1.8 update is good but I still feel like Minecraft is empty while Terarria adds a ton of stuff to find, craft or mess around with. In terms of updates and content Terraria always wins.

MMMMMM ok so FortressCraft is a clone, ok i would love to hear what evidence you have to prove this theory, now remember Infiniminer was Minecraft's inspiration but we are not calling minecraft a clone of that, so taking this into consideration, please bring the evidence of said cloning on this post and we shall do what gynecologists do, have a bloody good look.
They are 2 completely different games so you can't compare them.
Without trying to start a little war though, I do like Terraria more than Minecraft. Just because Terraria has more things to do...
