Not going to quote all that, but I I do agree.
With minecraft, well as long as notch was there, there seemed to be an obvious passion. I've looked into Prison architect and again, it looked like they had an obvious passion for making it the best game they could. A lot of devs seem to get to a midway point were they lose interest and wander off to another project. That's part of why I tend not to buy early access, though there are a few exceptions that I've probably made and one I will be making.
I bought mine craft because my brothers and I thought it would be fun to play together, and while I don't really play it much without them, it's solid and does what it set out to do.
Anyway, I think I'm rambling a little bit here so I'll just end this here.
