Or I could web host and throw ads at people, or try in vain to produce something of the same quality as DF and pray to the seven gods for donations... The possibilities are endless!  :D

I've pirated a number of games but if I think it will be a great game I just purchase it. I only pirate a game if I've read a lot of bad reviews (Red Alert III) or if it is really old and I don't plan an playing it multi player anyway (Halo, Brood War). When I saw MineCraft and my paypal didn't work yet I downloaded it because I knew I was gonna buy it anyway.

But seriously, I wanna play/buy this game NOW! :P

My rules on 'Pirating' is...

Can I get it from a store :: IF NO, Browse Internet.
Can I buy it via the Internet :: IF NO, Download.
End Line...

Thats basicly it, unless someone rehashes it and republishes it or something, chances are that I will only download it if it don't exists anymore for purchase. And sometimes if its not avalible in my country due to our Importation being shit...

REGARDLESS!!! OMG JUNE COME FASTER!!!

The LPs seemed to have dropped off teh face of the earth too. We knew PBat was winding down, but the Yogs and Adventucast haven't put out anything for a while now.

Yea, I have been watching carefully for a lp, but nothing. I guess I should take joy in the fact that not everything will be revealed to me, and I will get to explore for myself.

The game does look like a lot of fun, and I'll probably get myself a copy of it too, come june. The lps were good as well, though PBat needs to put some warnings on his videos... May induce rabid facepalming. Other than that his lp was pretty entertaining.

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

Also, the Terraria leak is a VERY old alpha. Doesn't have the guide, the workbenches, anyway, really.

So, even if the devs didn't leak the thing themselves, they might as well have because it's of no practical use whatsoever?

It IS a dev leak, because it came as a source code. There's almost nothing though, at least in terms of features, so it could be from someone forgetting his flash in university to special trick to cause more attention. Although I doubt it's intentional because they are unlikely to leak the SOURCE, they would be better making a small demo... Another example why you should be careful to trust someone :).

Code of ethics be dammed, when their is code involved, it is every script monkey for themselves! Especially if like you said, it was a dev release. Time to see how they got such nice destructible terrain.

I don't even try to download it because there's literally nothing, just controls, terrain and slimes. You can get more from the Youtube videos :). In any case, it won't harm the game because most of the content was added recently. And I think it's amongst a few games I want to buy, at least to play with buddies and hunt some bosses old console-rpg style :).

Regardless, it has destructible dirt, and dead sexy physics. Enemys? I can churn them out like nose bleeds at an anime convention, but good physics like that? I mean have you seen the light involved?

I care little for taking their game concepts, and don't plan on taking their code, I just want to know how.
