Upon entering this conversation, and this forum, I thought there would be some (fairly) mature people on this board. Turns out I was wrong. Even mentioning the purchase of a new computer to compensate for a low quality game such as MineCraft is purely ridiculous.
I understand that, yes, MineCraft is a very demanding game (although it's so low quality), but people shouldn't be forced to conform to one game. For example: some people play XBox all day, such as BlackOps, but have a low-end PC to run MineCraft on for when they get bored, so basically you're telling that person that he must purchase a 400-500 dollar computer for a single game.
This would be bad enough if it was an intrusive key such as "d" but for God's sake it's the letter "f" what does it matter if it's bound to a certain option? For children on this board to get defensive over someone objecting to Notch's decision to take that function out is purely ridiculous.
Point being:
People shouldn't have to conform to games, games should conform to (the majority) of people, and considering (most) people have low-end computers, there should be an option for said people to make the game more enjoyable.
So:
Every one of you kids who are saying "buy a new computer" are obviously stuck up pricks.
*Side note:*
I myself own a fairly good computer, so this key has nothing to do with my personal needs, this is just a silly thread for obvious reasons.
**Side note:**
Why did Notch take it out anyways? That makes absolutely no sense to me. He could have at least changed the key to an even LESS intrusive key such as "l" or "k". I just don't understand it.
