But then people who don't buy Minecraft will have Minecraft. Oh wait, that's already a thing.

Those who buy this only get Minecraft until August 14th. It's not everyone who buys this pack gets MC free forever if they buy before August 14th. I predict a sharp increase in MC purchases on August 15th.

The first word of this announcement should say "many," not "may." It's the first word, so I thought I'd mention it...

I just spoke with support at humblebundle. What it is, is that you get a "limited time" Minecraft account that allows you to play the full game for free. This account expires on August 14th. It is NOT a free copy of the game. More of a taste for people, and if they like it, then they can go buy it :)

nice ideia, u buy a trial version of minecraft (actualy its a full minecraft but with limited time)
So the people who try it will love it and when the time ends, they'll buy minecraft

And everybody lives happily after ever

The end.......

What do they mean Minecraft is for free UNTIL August 14th. Once you get the game thats it, you have if forever. Why do they say until is there a trial version for this game or what?

On the statistics for the top purchases and donations, @notch is the #1 donator and he donated $4,000! I'd just like to applaud that!

it saies that you get to play minecraft for free till the 14th. I assume that all such accounts will be discontinued after that time... But thats enough to taste Multiplayer, and a smart player can keep SP indefinatly (albit with no updates)

@Superoverlord22
You know that notch works on Mojang... and he is... kinda the most important member because he has made the only succesful game Mojang has... so i think when the others want to do something with Minecraft or in general , they obviusly ask notch...

Also What do you mean by " No Herobrine " ? , Herobrine wasnt is the game !! not even before 1.6 when notch posted " Herobrine removed "

Wow, this is really cool! :) I might buy this myself, or convince a friend of mine to buy it! <3 I think it's a wicked smart idea to include a "trial" version of Minecraft in this bundle. ;) Like another user said, I also believe that sales of Minecraft will spike on August 15th. :) Thanks, Mojang!
