Don't really know anything about this TIME Top 100 list, but isn't this a bit late? He should've gotten it in 2010, the hype for minecraft is really over now in 2013.

I understand about the game being old, but here's how it was in school for the kids and me (target of the game). I played the game and thought it was awesome back in alpha, but very few kids played it. They would make fun of me saying that the graphics sucked(which was ironic because they played on the xbox360 at the time it came out) and that it was boring. All they ever did was play CoD and crap. Now, many kids play it , indluding the "popular" crowd and the kids that thought it was dumb now think it is cool(making the general player crowd in Minecraft slightly stupider.)

They will pick Morsi because it's the politically correct "sexy" choice since he is a figurehead of the Muslim religion. And the US media is still in "don't make Muslims feel bad" mode since 9/11.

I voted for Notch, granted he should've been in a previous years poll. I think it goes beyond Minecrafts popularity, it shows that you don't need to be an AAA studio to have a great product, and really opened up the Indie scene to people.

I am interested in reading the Time article just to see what they say about KimDotCom. As for voting Notch most influential person of the year, i'm not really sure he fit's the bill, but Kudos to him.
