This paper assesses the impact of network latency on the Quality of Experience (QoE) of casual gamers with Minecraft. It is based on a user study involving 12 casual gamers with no prior Minecraft experience. The QoE is assessed using the Game Experience Questionnaire (GEQ) and dedicated questions for the overall perceived quality and experienced interruptions. The main finding is that casual Minecraft players are rather insensitive to network delay of up to 1 sec.
