Markus Persson is a self made millionaire !

the game cost`s 14.95 Euro ~ 15.00 Euro

has over 10000000 users and growing

calculation: 15,-Euro * 10000000 users = 150000000 Euros

this guy basically did develop mincraft on its own, since 2009.

a xperia play version, and xbox-live version is also in development.

that means even more cash $$$$$ !

of course he has to pay taxes and that other stuff but in the end i think he is going to make around 100 million Euro net in cash.

for the work hi did in 2 or 3 years, that sound pretty awesome to me !

respect Markus !
enjoy the mony Markus ! $$$ $$$ $$$ !

10 million registered users, no buyers.

Registered users not buyers.

Minecraft has sold over 2 million copies but yeh he's well paid.

evrfighter5476d ago

yup i believe he hit the 1 mil mark when it was just him.

he still has less than 10 people working for him. A shame he's soon to be under M$'s thumb.

Pandamobile5476d ago

Why would you say that? They're not even making the Xbox port.

BeastlyRig5476d ago

3 million people bought the game.. Still good money though!

My damn laptop won't even run Minecraft Classic good.

ATiElite5476d ago

don't tell me you have the kind of laptop that if thieves broke into your house they wouldn't steal it but they would leave a bunch of Bestbuy ads underneath it.

or if you left it on the front seat of your car someone would break in and replace it with a new one.

just joking w/ u

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.
