I don't hate them but got no desire to play Minecraft. I don't see them as much of a game company like Bioware though who has many games and years under their belt and except for Dragon Age 2 has had a stellar line up of games
Why do people hate Mojang?

I have come across the following reasons:
1. Because Mojang won/is winning March Mayhem.*
2. Because they think Notch isn't releasing patches frequently enough**.
[sub][sub][sub]*I have been paying no attention at all to March Mayhem other than the second to last round. I do not know how it is going for Mojang in the last round.
**I do not think so.[/sub][/sub][/sub]
I would agree that their dev team is small enough that the tri-monthly updates are not unsurprising, but take a look at a developer like Wolfire games, their team consists of only 3 people with less money working on a considerably more technologically advanced game and they update almost every week. Im not saying Minecraft should update every week but when you see modders produce twice as much content in a fraction of the time you cant help but wonder if its worth waiting for Notch to make a Wolf in the same time it takes for modders to make a whole new game using the same engine. And the single wolf update breaks all the massive mods thus preventing people from enjoying a better version of the game. And the wolfs can be formed into a stupidly overpowered army that replaces all the other animals.Megacherv said:
So if somebody else could finish the game for Notch and let him enjoy all the money I would be well up for that.
I could care less about Mojang and Minecraft. So neither hate nor adoration from me.
Edit: and for some reason my avatar broke as I tried to replace it with the old one. Seeing as how March Mayhem is over, I figured I could get rid of the MM one. Super.

Valve, Bioware and Nintendo are just too mainstream. In the Escapist, hipsters rule.jonyboy13 said:
I don't think anyone actually hates Mojang, per se. Sure, I know a lot of people (myself included) are pissed at them for beating Valve (and BioWare, if the current trend keeps up), but hating something and being pissed off at it are two very different things.
Because you're not an under-dog when you beat a corporal giant like Nintendo with 1 game, if you do that, then you're a tosser, not an under-dog. And it's fanbase could easily be entertained with paint drying because they have ONE WHOLE GAME. Yes, there's one in development, and if you look around their site you can find some old flash games, but MC is the only actual Official game.
lolz its not even about that. How can people vote for a company because of one game which is in development and not companies with more than 3+ epic games?>>"The Human Torch said:Valve, Bioware and Nintendo are just too mainstream. In the Escapist, hipsters rule.jonyboy13 said:
Too much "Indie is cool! I wanna be cool! Mojang it is!" attitude.
People are just mad because an indie dev with a java game that's still in beta beat [insert AAA developer X that they like] in March Mayhem.
They'll get over it or they'll ragequit. *shrugs*
It just goes to show how tired people are of copy paste sequels, RealIsBrown, and everything else Yahtzee rants about on a weekly basis.
I myself have only bought one AAA game this year (LBP2), and while it is pretty much a copy paste sequel, the little big planet series itself is as far from the rest of the tired tropes of the industry as one can get.
On the other hand I've been absolutely thrilled with all my purchases from smaller companies this year. Castle Crashers, Plants versus Zombies, Minecraft, most of the Humble Bundle(s).
Apparently I'm in a minority here and the rest of the Escapist is stunned silly (sadly not stunned speechless) that indie games are becoming more popular.

I don't hate it, but it is really overrated. Not to mention that they're winning March Mayhem due to one incomplete game which IMO is very ridiculous and obnoxious trolling. I've played it before, but didn't have much interest in it. Though if they don't make any new games than just adding onto Minecraft, I seriously wouldn't care about them and doubt they'll win next year.
I don't hate Mojang, I love Minecraft. I do however hate people who would vote for it over Bioware (among others), I mean, BIOWARE! WTF is wrong with you people? Mass Effect, Dragon Age, KotOR, Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, versus goddamn Lego Sim ?
