Some of those games would be...? I’d like to play some of them.

Also, guys, I think we can all stop pretending that the most explosively popular, best-selling game of all time is bad. It’s actually really great, no matter what you think of Notch. Lots of people like to dig, and build, and shape their world, even if there aren’t enemy snipers to kill, or whatever.

Butterfly Soup: QTPOC visual novel that will make you cry.
One Night Hot Spring: a visual novel of a trans woman visiting a hot spring in modern day Japan
Kindness Coins: A short story about how Men View Relationships

These three should give you a good taste of what itch.io has, in queer stuff. There's some more but my history only goes back like a month.

Not itch.io but good n' gay (also you pay for them):
2064: Read Only Memories: It's the future, everyone's gay, help a robot
VALL-HAL-A: It's the future, everyone's gay and sad, serve booze

Also, it's important to note that Minecraft was very much so not the first dig mine build explore game by a long shot, and it's success is largely accidental, not some transcendental aspect of Notch's product. I've been playing sandbox games for years, and the game is nothing new when it comes to making a world without gun shootermans. Popularity is not quality, nor is unpopularity.

Eh, it takes all kinds friend. I think a game where your primary agency comes from making drinks in an innovative move in non-combat gameplay, and I thought the story integrated queerness without making it the defining feature of that part of the story. The music was a bit repetitive was my only criticism.

Not to super derail but while I liked the drink making in theory, I thought the game didn't do much with it. There's no real consequences or reactions to how you actually make the drink. An NPC asks for a drink, you follow the steps for it, you succeed. Actual drink mixing provides lots of room for creativity that isn't taken advantage of in the game. Let the player mix in extra alcohol to get someone drunk faster, or let the player put a little umbrella in a drink that shouldn't have it to demasculate a tough guy or something. Maybe someone orders a drink to try to look tough but you suspect they can't handle it, so you mix it with less alcohol or extra simple syrup to sweeten it or something. There's a lot of potential that's pretty wasted in regards to one of its main selling points, and in practice the system kind of winds up just being an overly complicated "press to continue" button.

Thanks. I am going to check out some of those games.

To say Minecraft’s success was an accident, or that it was somehow the same as other mining games just because other mining games exist, is silly. Minecraft was absolutely better than any that came before it, and, as far as I can tell, better than any that currently exist. Other games have taken the concept in different directions (Terraria, arguably Stardew Valley), so I don’t compare them directly to Minecraft. The most popular argument in this direction is “Notch stole Infiniminer.” Bullshit. Minecraft was more complete, more complex, more responsive (in terms of the development), and more friendly to the community than anything else in that space. That’s not an accident.

We all think Notch is a piece of poo poo, but it’s weird watching people contort themselves into “Minecraft is actually bad and a fluke.” As far as it not being the first or only of its genre, so what? Windows isn’t the first OS, the iPhone isn’t the first cellular phone, the newest generations of the XBox and the Playstation aren’t the first game consoles, and the Tesla isn’t the first electric car.

Popularity is not quality. That is technically correct. However, very few things make it to the absolute pinnacle of extremely competitive arenas against tons of alternatives by not being good. That’s just not a thing.

Notch is the biggest, "gently caress you got mine" rear end in a top hat in the business.

He started small by stealing someone else's idea, got huge too fast and never once thought to stay humble.

I hope he dies in a candy and lonliness avalanche.

Normally "gently caress you got mine" means not giving a poo poo about others. Why is this rich guy still caring instead of spending it all on hookers and blow? The least he could do is wallow in his own despair and candy WITHOUT bothering the remainder of the world.
