Is minecraft that big, or is the tech world that small?

• citricsquid 16y ago
  No, Minecraft is seriously that big. If you trust Alexa much you'll find that we (forum/wiki) are in the top ~5k for both sites, Minecraft is top 3k last I checked. It's been insane recently... what really hammers it home is that this is a product people have purchased, so it's going to be around for a long while. While we probably won't maintain the current traffic once the game settles down into a normal routine, we sure won't be dying for many years, which is what I love about this. Minecraft is like garrymods, the game is what you the player want to make it, this will lead to a lot of future success along side this current success. Also if you want to see the sales figures, I've been tracking them for the past few months: http://m00d.net/minecraft/sales/ http://m00d.net/minecraft/sales/ :) *If you're interested, here's a (not very accurate) list of where Minecraft has been featured: http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2162 http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2162 which includes Australian TV, Physical magazines, huge tech blogs, gaming blogs, forums... everywhere! I don't think I'll ever see anything happen like this again in my life (and I'm only young) -- Minecraft is incredibly unique.

    > the game is what you the player want to make it Interesting -- I know nothing about it, but it sounds like it might appeal to people who want to learn video game programming, at least perhaps the ones that don't want to go into hardcore engine programming.

      It's more like playing with LEGO than anything else.
