Electronic Arts still wish they were involved with Minecraft after being linked with a buyout offer last year, and say Notch ‘needs help’ with certain aspects of his business, despite being a ‘true talent’.
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.

i think Notch has done it pretty good by himself, and will continue to do so.
He's done fine by himself so far, back off EA. LOL
"Wish we could help by force you to milk it with dlc"
Yeah, EA, you'd love to get your hands on some of that minecraft money, wouldn't you?
I love Notch's response on Twitter:
"I'm sure EA is very successful at monetizing games, but the more we don't do what they would do, the happier I am. #nooffense"
