Minecraft is the best-selling video game in history with over 238 million copies sold — a number so extraordinary that it dwarfs every other game ever made. But is it truly the greatest game ever made? The yes camp argues that no game has ever provided so much creative freedom to so many people, that Minecraft has inspired an entire generation of game designers and architects, that it has been used in education worldwide, and that its simple premise — place and break blocks — conceals infinite depth and possibility. The no camp argues that commercial success is not the same as artistic greatness, that Minecraft's graphics and mechanics are deliberately primitive, and that games like The Last of Us or Breath of the Wild represent greater artistic achievements. Is Minecraft truly the greatest game ever made?
