I shouldn't really be stoking this fire but Minecraft was in alpha and beta way before skyrim came out and generated a lot of press because at the time it was innovative (now it's just the forefather of a million voxel games). It's not unthinkable that Bethesda put a Minecraft reference in because of the amount of buzz it was getting, so don't let your argument fall onto that premise.

Also Minecraft came out a week after Skyrim, 11-18 to Skyrim's 11-11. And it went into beta in Dec. of 2010...
