I would agree with you if you were talking about Call Of Duty, but I think Minecraft is a different game.

The amount of potential creativeness and ingenuity that exists just in vanilla-minecraft makes the game more appealing developmentally to kids. Building structures develops spacial reasoning and 3d thinking. Collecting resources disciplines management skills. Collaborating with others and respecting their buildings both teach important social behaviors that are otherwise non-existent in most other popular games. These are just a few reasons why minecraft is both a really fun game, and a really exciting game to push further.

It's the modern sandbox game, and it's just a canvas. So we are trying to bring programming to the above skill set with learntomod.

Sorry that our pricing model isn't the clearest - we're still bouncing around ideas for after the beta. The $30 pre-order gets you access to the entire beta period until we release.

The subscription fee after the beta period is for use of a private server for you and your friends to use learntomod. Alternatively you can opt for a lower fee to play on a public learntomod server.

Sorry about that! We'll get that fixed right away.
