€ 23 million! Mojang probably did not expect the global success experienced by Minecraft, independent real social phenomenon, but even less likely that the gains it would bring. According to what reported by Gamasutra, Markus 'Notch' Persson has reported a total of 800,000 downloads recorded for the game in alpha stage at 9.95 euro each, followed by several other copies in beta for € 14.95 milioncino some other downloads.
All together they form a veritable mountain of money: it seems that the total is currently about 23 million €, crammed with Notch somewhere trying not to think too much. "It ends somewhere around in a bank account and tried not to look so much," Persson said, "I take the usual wage for the work I do every day, but somewhere there's this mountain of money.
Paypal takes one hand, there are taxes, but it's still a huge amount of money. " The author of Minecraft also claimed a good idea to consider the early release of a game still in development, as happened to the title, claiming that this is a great way for a small team to pursue projects "may not be the best thing for all types of game, I realize, but I will surely present it again for the next games we are developing."
