According to YouTube itself. It was announced 4 hours ago.
just wild to me that this whole fad missed me but got my kids real good. First time I felt my gamer hairs grey a bit
congratulations to mojang
Yeah, only kids play it and it will be gone in a year or two. Nobody plays it anymore...I like that OP calls what has been one of the most consistently popular games for a decade a fad lol
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it is and now I don't understand it anymoreI like that OP calls what has been one of the most consistently popular games for a decade a fad lol
It'll never be popular, just like the internet.I like that OP calls what has been one of the most consistently popular games for a decade a fad lol
I feel your pain.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.

What is 1,000,000,000,000 to you? Or rather, what do you consider to come after a billion?Is this another weird American thing, to use different names for stuff? Isn't trillion a 1 000 000 000 000 000 000?

No, that's a quintillion.Is this another weird American thing, to use different names for stuff? Isn't trillion a 1 000 000 000 000 000 000?
The game is literally legos, what's not to get?I used to be with it, but then they changed what it is and now I don't understand it anymore

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?I used to be with it, but then they changed what it is and now I don't understand it anymore

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 sortsI've experienced both with Minecraft itself.

1,000,000 = MillionIs this another weird American thing, to use different names for stuff? Isn't trillion a 1 000 000 000 000 000 000?
Some European countries do this:1,000,000 = Million
1,000,000,000 = Billion
1,000,000,000,000 = Trillion
Right?
One of the rare cases where the American way makes more sense and is less confusing.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
That's 1 billion in some parts of Europe. Bi, as in 1,000,000^2What is 1,000,000,000,000 to you? Or rather, what do you consider to come after a billion?

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.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
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.One of the rare cases where the American way makes more sense and is less confusing.
How do you write a thousand billion in the US?One of the rare cases where the American way makes more sense and is less confusing.
A trillion.
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
that's only reserved for bad games like overwatch
you answered your own question. ;)
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.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)
In my 40 years (UK) didn't know any of this was a thing. Every day a school day!It's called long scale and was actually used in the UK until 1974.

Can't speak for other European countries but I'm pretty sure France uses long scale with million -> milliard -> billion -> billiard
