I wouldn’t say it’s a Minecraft clone, rather it’s a clone of a Minecraft total conversion mod. If you’ve ever played TerraFirmaCraft, Vintage Story is like that. If you haven’t played it, then I should warn you that Vintage Story is nothing like Minecraft, other than the voxel world. The gameplay is very different, and quite a bit more challenging and complex.
That being said, it’s a fun game, and I really enjoy it.
I wasn’t disagreeing with you, just pointing out your example was a bit wild. I fully agree with your other point. Although I would also point out that the early exclusives were that simply because it just didn’t occur to devs to release a game on more than one console.
I wish I could say this surprised me, but I’ve kind of been expecting this for awhile. They’ve been slowly getting worse for years, it went from just a hobby project to a corporation.
That is me literally saying I’ll defend the game. It’s your words that defending the game is defending “greed”, which is a bullshit, weak ass argument.
