DrBulldogPhd inquired on your thoughts on Manic Digger and Cubelands, do you support these projects or are you enraged at them?
Politically, I strongly believe that people should be allowed to be inspired by good ideas and make their own version of it. That's how ideas spread and get improved, and it's gotten us really far as a civilization. Besides, if that wasn't allowed, we'd never seen BioShock or Braid or Civilization 5 or any of the other hundreds of great games that take existing games or ideas and perfect them. With Manic Digger, I was a bit surprised to see exactly how close it was to Minecraft, with the same player models and skin format, and even the ability to connect to the same servers. To me, that crosses a line. There's absolutely room for more games, but effort should be spent on differentiating, not on converging.
