It's because he feels that if he was a kid right now, he'd be all over it.
His dumb logic is awfully predictable. His work is all about pandering to himself or to soggy knees.

A few years ago I worked with a group of third graders and one of them was crazy about Skyrim. He talked about it all the time. Since I had played it too he kept trying to impress me with his knowledge of the game, even though it was clear he either didn't understand much of it or was just making up stories about it to wow me. It was really cute.

Point is, kids were into Skyrim... in 2012. Most kids in 2015 have moved onto something else.

In addition, there is a difference between kids being interested in media for more mature audience simply because they have access to it and making a product to actively support such an interest in more adult media. For example, when I was 6-years-old my dad would let me watch him play Duke Nukem and Doom on his computer (much to my mother's dismay), but by the same token I'm guessing he wouldn't get me a Doom pop-up picture book (if there was such a thing) to read to me at bedtime.
I dunno. Call me one of those old-fashioned, "think of the children" folks, but it seems to me a lot of parents would be very uneasy at the idea of a children's book based off of a game with references to promiscuous lizard-women, glorified kill cams, and daedric beings that command you to kill other people based on their whims.
 
It's like making an arts & crafts kit for the Dragon Age series. Wrong material for the demographic.

considering how dumbed down and vapid inquisition was, bioware might starting aiming for the crayola-markers-and-lunchables crowd any day now

also dobson is fat
 
Dobson is still at over 100$, but I heard a rumor that there was one guy with multiple accounts giving most of it.

It's the same with his Minecraft server, I don't get that one since I can't even remember him ever talking about playing the game, did he just hear it was popular and thought it'd be a good idea?

There are literally thousands of Minecraft servers out there already. I can't fathom what Dobson thinks he has to offer.
 
I'm surprised he hasn't compared himself to Iwata.
I'm pretty sure the "evil Nintendo exec ruining muh Nintendo canon" in his comic a few pages back was supposed to be Iwata. Dobson's probably happy that the guy who killed his DiC headcanons is dead, but at least smart enough to realize that if he said anything he'd be crucified. And besides, Iwata did help get Splatoon made indirectly.
 
Dobhead, working for children is no excuse for a crappy product. As an educator, dare I say that it carries a responsibility to do better than you normally would, precisely because it's for children?

Dobson probably imagines that being able to play in a server with him is an offer no one could refuse.

Except honestly I can't imagine Minecraft being something he'd actually play, since it takes creativity and effort to get anything done in it, so in actuality you would be paying to play in a server that has the "official support" of Dobson. It would be kinda like buying a liter of coke because it was endorsed by Michael Jordon for $500, but somehow making even less sense.

Dobson feels like one of those dads who becomes lamer the more he tries to be cool, except instead of your dad he's your creepy unwashed uncle.
 
Hey guys, you ever feel like we're grasping at straws when talking about Dobson?
Not significantly. There's definitely been a few times I've seen that kind of stretched too much, but I'd never exactly say "grasping at straws". Thinking too hard, maybe, but with how much Dobson legitimately does wrong you have to actively try to find something not worth poking fun at.

Probably just him being delusional about his worth, and wanting a more tangible hugbox.
Personally, I think it's the dumbest reward he has. "Give me money so I can dedicate more time to my art...and I'll spend it on a Minecraft server."
