As for “Full Release”, Terraria was first released as a fully working game, with it’s 1.0 being the first public release in May 2011. Minecraft 1.0.0 was November 2011. Minecraft’s first public release was Classic 0.0.11a in May 2009.

When Terraria came out, the first reaction some people had was “so, it’s just a minecraft knock-off, but lame, because it’s 2D?”

Wasnt terraria fully released before minecraft?
Edit: the full release, not alpha or beta
Minecraft released its’ alpha in 2009. Terraria came out in 2011.
