Understanding what Minecraft really means to Microsoft
- spb 12y ago> In June this year, Mojang said across all platforms (PC/Mac, consoles, mobile) it has sold 54 million copies of the game, which you only have to pay for once (how quaint!). Do they mean instead of subscription/microtransactions? Last time I checked, you had to pay for Minecraft separately on each platform.
- prawn 12y agoI think they just mean that you pay once and play forever. You don't pay a monthly subscription or buy Minecraft 2 or buy tools through IAP, etc.
- Jupe 12y agoIt would be great if MS made a real modding platform; the mess that is the mod world in Minecraft is beyond comprehension. My son is a devoted fan, and is always chasing the latest mod, which usually requires a unique launcher (which is naturally incompatible with all the other launchers), with a special version of the game, etc. Hook it up to a functioning app store and you've got a money printing machine.
- hartror 12y agoIt would be an extremely unpopular move with the current modders.
- johnpmayer 12y agoCare to elaborate? Much of the modding community is eagerly awaiting an official API.
