Something I noticed: Not a single picture on the new Minecraft website is actually from the game. via /r/Minecraft


Something I noticed: Not a single picture on the new Minecraft website is actually from the game.

For some reason, this really bugs me. All of the promotional art and pictures used on the new minecraft.net website are artistic renditions of Minecraft. Nowhere on the site is there a single picture or screenshot from the game itself. It's borderline false advertizing, and it's everywhere. Even the prepaid cards look like this! It's almost as if they're ashamed of how the game actually looks. Is anyone else bugged by this?

EDIT: Let's not forget the recently announced Xbox One S Minecraft Bundle.

Don’t Fall for Musk’s Merger Smoke And Mirrors
