On September 28, 2016, from Google Play, I purchased a game everybody was talking about, to play on my tablet. After struggling with so many games out there and finally accepting that fighting and killing was not my thing, I completely immersed myself into it.
On September 27, 2017 - exactly one year later - I registered my account at Mojang for the Java version.
Just as Floris said: it's addictive!!! But why is it? Because it takes my creativity to a level that I never thought I would achieve. I love turning those blocks into something different, and make castles, houses, farms, all the mechanics to the game, and learning something new everyday, and sharing what I learn with others... It is simply amazing!!!
