Why is everyone obsessed with this game?

It looks cheap and tacky but kids have bought the game, book and posters for it. The geeky IT people at work talk about it but I do not see what is the fascination.

Not into games, i never played it but somehow i know it's made in Sweden sooo thats probably teh reason why people play it

My middle son is hooked on it. Spends all his pocket money running a server and spends a little too much time playing it. If he wasnt like Sheldon Cooper in school I'd have a problem with it but if it aint broke...

I dont get video games at all, I can be momentarity wowed by some good graphics but thats about it.

The graphics are poor but typical Swedish fad taking over like Abba, Saab and Urika Johnson.

What kind of game is this? How does it look? What are they trying to do? Is it anything like WarCraft which is weirdly popular with kids out here. Or at least was anyway. I don't really pay too much attention.

[Gandalf]

Ah, nothing to do with geeky Warcraft. Still, it looks pretty bad. Don't worry Master. My theory is that society is dumbing down with too much idiot box and sports overload. In this case dumb gaming is an element. The fact that you are resisting is a sign of progress. You know it isn't very good. It's how I feel about lots of things all the time and it really is because most things are nonsense.

All three are beautifully crafted and have stood the test of time. Though I wouldn't want to listen to Ulrika sing, Drive Abba or stick my John Thomas up a Saab.

It's an unbelievably simple idea that allows people with very little knowledge of coding to create anything from simple buildings right up to entire simulations of massive environments and world's. It's about as far away from dumbing down as you could possibly get. It encourages creativity far more than even the most supposedly open world 'adult' game.

That is what my son says he is learning and it is very educational.
