  Emulators don’t always challenge developer profit. Minecraft is incredibly successful because users can play on alternative server implementations (e.g hypixel).

    Minecraft does not sell monthly subscription (as far as I know)

      Minecraft sells their own hosted servers called realms that bill monthly [0]. The key difference here might be that it was rolled out well after the game’s release around the 1.5 update [1].

  EVE could allow people to run private servers with a licencing fee... that will never happen though because why open things up when you could engage in hostilities instead.
