Just for curiosity sake. What's HN's opinion on Minecraft keeping a regular level of sales into the long term. Noting that it's an ongoing development title (and that's a large part of the continuing appeal.)
My observations on /r/minecraft and the minecraft forum reveal that while there is a solid base, the vocal majority of posters seem to be green.
- citricsquid 14y agoCarl (Mojang CEO) has stated that the sales will eventually subside so they're planning new revenue avenues, such as selling multiplayer servers. > and the minecraft forum Thank you for your continued patronage :)
- tobtoh 14y agoWhilst I'm sure the growth rate will slow, I think there is potential for it to hit a consistent long term growth trend. Minecraft is basically a modern version of Lego - and Lego has for the most part been consistently popular and sells well. There is a constant batch of new customers (ie kids) who will always enjoy the freedom of exercising their imagination and building their own worlds.
