How not to treat your customers; because good customer service is rewarded in minor loyalties, and friendly clients, but bad customer service becomes legendary.

"Sites that are illegal should be shut down, not censored."

There is a certain layer of cuteness in Minecraft; note well the alternate name for Bedrock, aka that strata beyond which you cannot mine down: it's known as Adminium.

I admit, I'm now contemplating Minecraft. Partially because after September's server crash from the abyss, the developer is tossing up a buy-as-is offer that's on the unbeatable side. $13.69 (or about ten Euros) buys you the glitchy, occasionally bug-ridden alpha client.

When it goes into beta? You get into the beta.

When it goes live? You get a copy of the professional client.

And any time the client updates? You get it.

Basically, it's the cost of a night showing of a 3D movie feature--to have the game in all its incarnations, for as long as it lasts.

That makes it seriously tempting. Even if I can't figure out how to find coal and make fire.
