I wasn't sure about Minecraft when my kid started playing it a few years back. Heck, I was even wondering what the big deal was when I saw how crappy the graphics were. It was like looking at video games from the 80s!
But, I changed my mind about the game when he showed me the things he was building which included a house, a roller coaster and a sling shot that shot TNT. Far better to have him playing this game than going around and shooting people in Modern Warfare. Sure, the social interaction isn't the same as real people. The thing is, he's learning and showing creativity which is important too as far as I'm concerned
