Nightmare Mode explores the new business model being adopted by indies such as Minecraft and more in the gaming industry.
"...a new form of funding being used by independent developers that could very well be the future of beta testing and preorder bonuses for AAA and indie devs alike. Several independent developers have taken a new approach to getting the funding they need by allowing players to pay to play early builds of the game before it’s released. It’s basically alpha/beta testing that requires a credit card instead of an application with your computer specs attached.
...it turns out if it’s fun and playable, players are absolutely willing to pay to play a game that isn’t finished."
Mojang announced the release date for the latest Game Drop for Minecraft and a significant visual upgrade for the Bedrock Edition.
Today, Mojang revealed the next Game Drop coming soon to its ultra-popular survival crafting game Minecraft, titled "Chase the Sky."
Does anyone think it’s a little lazy of them to use a Ghast rather than make a new Hot air balloon skin or something.
A whole update for this is wild after months of waiting

I quit watching the NFL. I used to be a hardcore fan my whole life. But after seeing Trump commercials during the SB, I left and haven't looked back, the same with the UFC. I can't support organizations that hate me and my family. Anyway, before I left, the owner of the Charger's made the them irrelevant by moving them. This decision turned the team into a dime store coffee mug... I would assume they are still irrelevant today.
Interesting...very interesting.
I think that this model is good for indie games because the developers listen to the community which allows players to form the game. However, I think this would be bad for a AAA developer that doesn't listen to fans because it would just be another money grab.
