I don't think it's important to anyone except Notch himself.
It is however highly interesting and overall attention grabbing that such a primitive game is making big bucks, as well as heartwarming as it's an indie game.

Yea, I suppose that makes sense... But this particular genre (wilderness survival) is a pretty undeserved market. The alternatives are what ? A couple mods for Oblivion, Stranded/Stranded II, and a few others. Notch just hit the nail on the head in regards to what a lot of people have been looking for.
I really wish there were more games like this, with the sexy shiny graphics and physics and whatnot. But, Minecraft is scratching the itch for now.

Someone should make "Notch makes money megathread"

Sweden has a 50% tax? That's ridiculous if true.
