Good ol' time
Symbol of a simpler age
Childhood memories
Don't become that experience that grows more beautiful with time
Time doesn't fly at the same speed in real life as it does on the internet.
Memories
A forgotten past of our-self
A single save files
II've crossed paths with a friend I grew up with only online.
Time doesn't fly at the same speed in real life as it does on the internet.
Never met outside of Minecraft
He studies at ISIMA!
Art
Like coffee, wine or contemporary art
The more you play with the work, the more magnificent it becomes.
At first we understand, nothing we remain insensitive
The sale
$2,500,000,000

The downfall
The game has moved away from what it has always been
Increasingly complex with each update
The very essence of beta and notch's vision vanished
Underneath the often superfluous content
The downfall
Making people pay for things that were created for free by others.
Censoring chat
Doing the opposite of what the community wants
Microtransactions
The downfall
Extremely popular servers got greedy
Falling under the weight of its own community
Conclusion
Minecraft will never be better than when it's a tool for creating.
As long as people are here to tell each other stories...
There will be a place for Minecraft.
As there is one for lego
