Considering Minecraft has over 176 million copies sold, not to mention the endless amount of merchandise and spin-offs I'm sure MS is getting royalties on, it looks like they got a bargain at $2.5B.
- goldcd 7y agoMaybe I didn't make my point clearly enough. To me - it was a silly fun game I spent an evening with - and then never touched again. The whole "becoming a thing" completely missed me. I maybe say it was on Android, or Xbox - but being an old fart completely missed the fact that millions had turned up and were playing it (and PewDiePie was a name of somebody etc etc)
- wingerlang 7y agoI played it overnight nonstop after buying it, also in 2011 I think (infdev anyone?). Then also never touched it again. However I am curious how you missed the hugeness of it for so long, did you not follow gaming sites or anything gaming on YouTube similar at all?
