0x10cͨ Screenshots

Markus" notch" Persson tweets the release of some prototype screenshots from 0x10cͨ, Mojang's upcoming space game. He's also added a note to the section mentioning "hard science fiction" to back off that a bit: "Update: GAH, NO! I'm focusing on fun gameplay instead. I still want to get corrected on glaring scientific errors, though."

Can someone explain to me what the potential upside is from releasing these? Because if you ask me all it does is invite criticism -- deserved or not.

A lot of people want to see it. I know I enjoy seeing a game come together from the very beginning. And he WANTS constructive criticism. Of course that means filtering through all the bullshit from the more intellectually stunted gamers.

Notch isn't a really marketing minded guy. He's a developer. He has an almost naive approach to communicating with the fans. He posts things assuming fans will understand that nothing is set in stone in a game that's been in development for a few weeks.

I think that kind of openness and honesty is refreshing, and since he's not enslaved to some oppressive publisher, he has the freedom to do it.
Do you have a single fact to back that up?
