John Bedford (Modojo): What's left to say about a gaming phenomenon where the sales figures speak for themselves? Following the explosion of Minecraft's popularity in PC circles, it's now the Pocket Edition of the game that's stealing all the headlines by out-selling even the PC version during 2012.
We decided to get in touch with Jens Bergensten, lead developer of both the PC and mobile versions of Minecraft, to discuss the past success of the Pocket Edition, the exciting new multiplayer update the team are working on, and just why it's so tricky porting the entire PC experience over to mobiles.

Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.

Ben Porter from Newzoo explains that the player base has very little overlap with mainstream hits such as Assassin's Creed: Shadows and Ghost of Yōtei
I used to buy cheap games thinking I’d play them later, but I always ended up returning to my favorites. Now I skip the deals unless I know I’ll play the game soon.
This is very true, my nephews grew up on these two games and whenever I introduce them a AAA game whether old or new, it's like seeing an alien try to make sense of it and then quickly lose interest in it.
Can’t really expect a 8 year old Roblox kid to go buy resident evil 9 lol
Gaming trends are so weird to me now. Like, I’m old school and games were consumed essentially how movies were. You play through a title and look forward to the sequel or other things that came out. Now, that is so not the norm.
