Can I also point out that the OP is not trolling or flaming, especially not towards Minecraft. His examples (gameplay being repetitive and combat sucking) was an example of the cop-out paper-thin arguments people come up with who hate things that are good anyway.
a) Even though i have not have had the chance to play, i know that with the current and growing fanbase, Minecraft is pretty much covered.
b) MW2 was not that buggy. The problem was that the people cared more about the MP than the SP.
3) Yahtzee isn't getting boring. In fact I'd say that he is rather improving.

I will have none of that! I demand that the idea be developed as a freeware title, and you make a modest income on PayPal donations; not enough to quit your day job, but a nice bit of pocket change nonetheless. Then you use the publicity to create a successful handheld game which combines play-in-one-sitting simplicity with incredible amounts of depth. It will become the device's killer app, and you will be beloved by many. Also, I wanna be credited as creative director.Plurralbles said:

If you'll excuse the tortured and extended metaphor: MW2 is that limited collectors edition action figure you spent your last penny on only to come home and learn that it's made out of chewed bubble gum and string and then that annoying neighbor kid uses it as a chew toy for his dog. Minecraft is a giant chest of assorted Legos that you got for free when your older brother went to college. (speaking as someone who actually owns a giant chest of assorted Legos, I kinda know what that's like)

People who expect fast paced combat with lack of repetition (which I have never seen in a game ever) should not be playing minecraft - plain and simple. I got it a few days ago and I find it slightly dreary after a few hours but playing it in segments is fine.
Also you really can't compare minecraft and MW2 - one is still in the alpha stage and the other is a full retail title (that still had more bugs than something in it's testing stage...)

And even the bugs in Minecraft can sometimes make it awesomer (Mountain cut in half :3)Kukakkau said:
Paypal donations can't even afford new servers for some of the best sites and games on teh net, so F-that. But okay, I'll use it to get street cred.SideburnsPuppy said:
and sure, you can have a line of text like that. not a big deal.
Jeez, this must have been on of the most successful trolling missions on the escapist yet.Cliff_m85 said:
OT: Well, considering it's in alpha, and people are loving it this much, I don't think it's going to lose popularity soon. Plus, it's only going to get more and more popular as time goes on.
