Is Markus Persson’s blocky world-builder pretty much your favorite thing on the earth, right up there with blue cotton candy and baby laughter? You’re among some pretty prestigious company — in a recent interview with IGN, gaming industry titan Peter Molyneux sung the praises of Minecraft, even going so far as to say, “I think Minecraft‘s the best thing I’ve played in the last ten years.”
Molyneux added that he appreciated the solo efforts of Persson, saying, “he did everything on his own, and I think how brilliant and inspirational that is, to not need the full force of publishers and marketing people.” That’s not all — we hear Persson developed the entire game while astride the back of a gallant steed while holding an eagle in each hand. Now that’s inspirational.
