Minecraft licensed to Lego a few years ago. Lego even just revealed another big set from Minecraft just this month.[0]

I think they meant the flip side of that -- having Spider-Man and Harry Potter themed downloadable content for the Minecraft game.

Correct. I know Minecraft has a large modding community. But last I checked, I had to download third party software to do this.

Well, guess I know what I'm buying tonight. It'll be the 4th time I've bought Minecraft, but whatever. The Wii U controller is undoubtably better for input than the iPad version anyway.

Ahh, gotcha. That makes more sense. The Lego comparison was confusing because of the existing marketplace.
