How do I make a game?
Sure - Toontown is a successful and profitable commercial MMORPG that has been operating for nearly a decade. You might not find the theme interesting or the art style -- and it IS a stylistic choice rather than any imposed limitation -- particularly impressive, but if you ever create a game even one-tenth as successful you would be doing well. I believe Disney also have an MMO built on the same technology with a Pirates of the Caribbean theme if that would be an example more to your taste.

Python was used for EVE Online and Toontown Online
Sorry, but Toontown? Really?

You should stop looking at the visuals of the games (or whether you enjoy them or not), and start thinking about the architecture.
Toontown is a MMORPG that must support tons of players at once participating in different events in a 3D world (that was launched in 2003).
Minecraft (launched the online component in 2009), though more to your personal preference in terms of gameplay, supports a much smaller amount of people in a block-based world. And Minecraft still has (last time I played) entire chunks of the world that go missing from time to time that hasn't been resolved after three years.
Toontown is a greater feat of engineering (even though you may not like it's design). Both games could've been programmed in either Python or Java, or any of a dozen other languages.
I think with about 90% certainty that this guy is either
a) a troll
b) an idiot who just assumes that because minecraft is written in java its the best when you could argue that many many more successful games are written in C++
