Minecraft - 9 Million Sales, and Counting
_________________________________
That's right, the PC version of Minecraft has surpassed 9 million sales! Minecraft as a game continues to have a phenomenal level of success, with humble beginnings in the hands of Mojang founding member Markus "Notch" Persson, and growing over a period of years into one of the most successful indie game titles in gaming history. In addition, the recent changes to Minecraft in 1.4.7 - and future changes planned the game, including Mod API support, more adventure map options, and all sorts of customization options, including the highly anticipated Redstone Update - Mojang continues to push the game to new heights, even as they get involved in the community, with everything from direct-feedback bug fixing to real-life renewal projects.

Enjoy raiding and pvp in highly customizable and well organized groups, but hate the setup of Factions? Then check out my upcoming server containing multiple custom plugins and opearting on Minecraft version 1.8!
WOW, 9 million paying customers. That’s AWESOME! Way to go Mojang team and players.
Of course, you know what this all means don’t you. With increased popularity comes increased responsibility and demands. With that many subscribers, the pressure continues to increase to produce a quality fun product. As well as the increased demand for new and exciting stuff in the game. No sitting around and taking your time allowed anymore. You’re in the big leagues now. Expand and grow, or someone else will for you. I’m sure with this much popularity, the competition Creeper is looking over your wall.

Good Times.
Let your anger be as a monkey in a piñata... hiding amongst the candy... hoping the kids don't break through with the stick!
We are what we eat and we are who we meet. These are not mutually exclusive.
