I was pretty surprised when Minecraft was charging money for a fairly simple and uncompleted game. I was surprised because I had not seen that done very often.

I was pretty surprised when Minecraft was charging money for a fairly simple and uncompleted game. I was surprised because I had not seen that done very often. Now it's definitely more popular with things like Kickstarter but I think the fact he was asking for money early on helped a lot. If he had not asked for money, he may not have been able to develop the game to the level he did.
