Chat game (Minecraft release date) - answer is arguably incorrect

"What year was Minecraft released in?" The full release of Minecraft was in 2011, but the chat game did not accept 2011 (my first answer), it accepted 2009 (first public build), my second answer This depends on how you define "release". At least to me, "release" would be the first non-beta version of the game, and Wikipedia agrees with this. But admittedly this may be subjective to some degree
