I wouldnt last that long In Zach shoes. Two words: Infiniminer, Infinifrag. He should be the one with $1B game company right now.

For those who don't know, Minecraft is a ripoff of Zach's Infiniminer.

“Ripoff” is both uncharitable and inaccurate. Minecraft was inspired by Infiniminer, and has a lot of similarities at the core, but the Minecraft’s gameplay is entirely different.

Everyone loves an underdog story, but the truth is that Minecraft is a better game.

I'm not convinced Zach Barth would agree based on [0].
