That time is now, as Minecraft: Pocket Edition hits Windows Phone 8.1 (http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2014/12/10/minecraft-pocket-edition-now-available-for-windows-phone/). For $6.99 you get access to Survival mode -- gather resources and build shelter during the day, hide from monsters at night -- and Creative mode. The latter of which lets your imagination go wild with unlimited resources and the ability to fly. And, so long as there are pals on a local WiFi network, it won't be a lonely affair as you can team up with them for some fort-building shenanigans. How many of them will be on Windows Phone (http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/28/microsoft-selling-four-times-as-many-windows-phones-as-last-year/), however, is another matter entirely.
