We're talking ten year old children, in my experience. I'm slightly amazed at how much they love playing Minecraft.

With home WiFi they can run their own servers in their touch devices, and run around in each others play areas.

P.S. I greatly appreciate Markus Persson's integrity, and consider this game one of my best purchases ever.

From what I remember, children are great advertisement targets - they're going to whine at their parents until they get what they want.

But what they want is minecraft.

Which might be the most approachable answer - purchase subscriptions to minecraft servers for your kids. However I would be reluctant to purchase anything that was not officially blessed - and would assume I could run a minecraft server for my own kids anyway ...

By the way, I personally want to puke when my kids play Minion Rush and I see three minutes taken up by thirty seconds running and 2.5 mins of sweeping through "buy buy buy" pages. Fucking disgusting.

Isnt advertisement for kids highly regulated in many countries?
