I've seen some Minecraft streams in passing (Namely Hololive) and while I get the appeal it's not a game I enjoy playing.
But it's a great game for a lot of people to watch and commentate along to, plenty of exploration stuff, combat can be surprising and doing these things together as a group makes it all the more entertaining. One of those "podcast" kind of games you can watch and listen to passively and still enjoy.

Yeah, only kids play it and it will be gone in a year or two. Nobody plays it anymore...
OP
OP
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it is and now I don't understand it anymore
and it'll happen to you too
It's the biggest selling game of all time by quite a way.
F- fad? OP, my dude, I was playing LAN Minecraft in the computer lab in 2010. It'll never go away either, catch the wave OP! You can still be in touch!
What is 1,000,000,000,000 to you? Or rather, what do you consider to come after a billion?
Long and short scales - Wikipedia
In many countries in Europe we use the long scale, short scale Trillion = Billion for us.
I've experienced both with Minecraft itself. I was hip and cool when I played Minecraft back when it was in alpha ("What a cool little indie game! Hope it's successful") but nowadays I'm an old man totally baffled by Minecraft. A trillion views? What are people even watching in these videos?
User created narratives if what my son watches is anything to go by. People build full cities /dungeons etc then put on a play of sorts
1,000,000 = Million
1,000,000,000 = Billion
1,000,000,000,000 = Trillion
Right?
Some European countries do this:
1,000,000 = Million
1,000,000,000 = Milliard
1,000,000,000,000 = Billion
1,000,000,000,000,000 = Billiard
1,000,000,000,000,000,000 = Trillion
One of the rare cases where the American way makes more sense and is less confusing.
That's 1 billion in some parts of Europe. Bi, as in 1,000,000^2
and then a trillion is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 (1,000,000^3).
Expensive, but good investment by Microsoft. Minecraft is, and will continue to be, huge, as the number of youtube videos/views clearly shows.
I thought as much but it's hard to compare these days when the biggest games are F2P.
Biggest game in the universe :)
My kids and I still play it almost weekly (various modes). Caves and Cliffs is amazing BTW.
The amount of interesting content on PC (survival, rpg, etc...) is incredible. Well deserved.

Eh I think both are fine. Logically they both make sense in terms of numbers it's just arbitrary words assigned to them. This isn't like the metric system argument where one system is fundamentally more complicated.
The art style lend itself so well to attract kids, my nephew and niece think Banjo looks bad (up res + HDR on XSX) but Minecraft looks bleeding edge lol. At least the youngest loved Banjo more, now he's my favourite.
Congratulations to Mojang, truly the most popular game ever made. Never thought it'd be bigger then Pokémon.

Yeah, this is a common mistake when translating numbers from US papers into European languages, comes up surprisingly often that you see a newspaper here list "billion" when they mean 10^9, when in German "billion" would mean 10^12.
The European way just adds "-ard" version after the "-ion" one, so the same words go a bit longer. After "trillion", for 10^18, you get "trilliard", for 10^21. Don't think either system is that confusing and both are very regular and neat, seen in isolation. It's just the need for translation that makes it all a mess.

A trillion.
Wait. Depends on which billion you're talking about.
One thousand billion in the long scale would be one quadrillion in the short scale.
this is in no way related to the thread, but what countries in europe use this standard? Ive honestly never seen it before (UK based)
that's only reserved for bad games like overwatch
Minecraft sort of passed me by. I got gifted a copy early on and rage quit after falling in a big cave and losing my diamond gear I'd spent hours making and basically didn't play it for years.
Then my wife, who still played in fits and starts stumbled across a Minecraft series on YouTube called Hermitcraft where a load of youtubers play on the same server, build stuff and sell things for diamonds as if they're currency (a few of them are in this video, I spotted at least Grain and Mumbojumbo).
My wife made me watch an episode where several 'Hermits' (the players of Hermitcraft) had built ridiculously tall houses with bits and pieces including wooden huts, the house from Up and a giant wizard plant monster. This was years ago but I cried laughing at the insanity of it all and when the builds had been judged by a fluke all three builds scored the same.
This was season 6 and every so often they'll stop and start a new season, currently up to Season 8 where the story at the moment is the moon is getting bigger and causing gravity related issues such as slow falling, earthquakes and random blocks flying into the air.
I've spent vastly much more time watching Hermitcraft than I have playing Minecraft. My kids started watching recently and we have our favorite youtubers who all play together and some of the stuff they get up to is astoundingly funny, even to an old like me. We've even started playing again on a family server.
Well done Minecraft, they've earned it!

It's called long scale and was actually used in the UK until 1974. It lingered though, I remember some news sources still using 'thousand million' in the financial crisis. Milliard I don't remember hearing so that presumably died sooner or wasn't used as much in informal speech. But anyway, long scale is million -> thousand million (or milliard) -> billion -> thousand billion (or billiard), rather than short scale million -> billion -> trillion -> quadrillion.
Can't speak for other European countries but I'm pretty sure France uses long scale with million -> milliard -> billion -> billiard
In my 40 years (UK) didn't know any of this was a thing. Every day a school day!
