TSA: Original Minecraft developer Notch (Markus Persson) has said that the game was immediately profitable.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.

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.

Can’t really expect a 8 year old Roblox kid to go buy resident evil 9 lol

This isn't really surprising. I bet a lot of people are like me, I kept hearing about this Minecraft game but I don't play on or have a PC, so when I found out it was coming to a game console I was all on board.
I must admit, its a lot of fun and I can see why so many people are enjoying this game.
sad day for real gamers...casual crap like this is ruining the industry
Minecraft is a very addictive game. I'm not surprised about this news. What I'm surprised is that such a powerful machine is being used to play this type o game. MS is neglecting users by focusing too much in the casual game market.
not surprised, the game has been gaining momentum. It probably wasn't that much investment to bring it over to 360 either.
