The Minecraft team is celebrating some big numbers today: Over 122 million copies of the game have been sold and over 55 million players take part in the game on any given month. Those are impressive stats no matter who you are and definitely worthy of a self-congratulatory back slap.

Read the full story here

    Somebody, somewhere has better skills as you have, more experience as you have, is smarter than you, has more friends as you do and can stay online longer. Just pray he's not out to get you.

    To think Wurm Online gave Notch the inspiration to make MineCraft. Wurm Online the mother of MineCraft can be proud of her child. 

    Notch is spending his billions.

    Minecraft is one of those things that has just passed me by. It just never really piqued my interest. 



    its never too late - there are new minecraft players every day
    It is one of those things I just don't get. I mean I understand it.. I just don't 'get' it.

    It's mostly for kids.  Hence the wild success.

    That's how I like to see numbers from publishers. The amount sold and the retention rate of the game. I love it how Mojang has given them (with an impressive close to 50% retention rate!) and I always doubt publishers that say that they have sold <X> copies of a game without any number of active players (tooking at ESO).
