Must be pretty hard considering Western games media has spent 25 years propping up Microsoft trying to buy their way into the market and ignoring failure after failure

lol these takes coming out right as the minecraft movie is raking in a bajillion dollars

That’s because the time to do something about Minecraft was 15 years ago, instead the games media propped it up and lavished praise on the horrible person that takes all the credit for creating it. And there has yet to be any self reflection on that.

lol games media has nothing to do with why kids love it and could have done absolutely nothing to stop that.

You ascribe WAY too much importance to "games media", it impacts literally nothing lol

Unlike now, when the game was being developed there was an actual games media and games press and they universally lavished the game with unending praise and coverage while excusing away the horrendous behavior of the guy who takes credit for creating the game all that gave the game a huge boost
