    They have tapped into players wishes here, interesting to see what they come up with.

    I'd say they've tapped into investor's wishes, remains to be seen if what they plan on making will be on any real interest, at least to me.

    Starting with a Minecraft/Roblox style foundation and building is a minus in my book, but others enjoy that sort of thing apparently.

    Well Trove was amazing, Boundless looked cool, and there are more and more really cool voxel style building games coming out, so, lets see what they pull off.

    Another Minecraft-like builder?  I like the role-playing aspect of it, but how many people role-play building games?  Maybe there are more people watching HGTV than I realized.  Naughty flippers.

    I guess we should be thankful the article didn't announce a crowdfunding campaign to go along with it.  Series A funding, there's a blast from the past.



    Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.

    I was really surprised by the success of Minecraft.....When I first saw that, I thought "no way will people like that".....I guess we underestimate the power of Legos in todays society.
