Say that to CDPR and phantom liberty. If you make an actual expansion it can keep players interested. If it’s a new weapon or something then who cares

I remember that six months in 2011 where everyone played Minecraft. I wonder whatever happened to that game…

We should look up the lead developer! I’m sure they have been an overall positive influence on gaming culture

Jens Bergensten? The man who has lead 99% of the games development after the initial Alpha releases by notch? He’s contributed more to that game and it’s success than that shithead ever did

The original creator of Minecraft, Notch, disappeared deep in the bowels of the internet after the initial release and then reappeared full blown 4chan nazi. Very rich and somewhat famous 4chan nazi
