Hello, and welcome to the thread I have made for people to throw up a few ideas on how Mojang could possibly make some extra money. While some games have DLC, map packs, bonus characters for buying things at gamestop, great deals, etc. I have thought of a few cool things, and I'm sure you guys might as well. Just suggest something in a post below and I will put it in the original post with your name attached. This is a fairly simple thread, not requiring much organization.
- Buyable Public Showcasings (blader1176) - My original idea. Basically, to sell or make contests for opprotunities for people to showcase their things in the game. I say things, because this is very, very broad. This could be anything from paintings in the game, the yellow writing at the title screen, or even a huge raffle to use somebodies' map for a tutorial when the game comes out.
- Sponsorships (blader1176) - Pretty basic, really. Just have a page in a "credits" section that shows pictures of sponsors of Minecraft.
- Other Contests (blader1176) - Opprotunity for people to buy tickets to have an opportunity to meet Notch and his crew, or win other things I cannot think of at the moment.
- Minecraft Merchandise (blader1176) - Who doesn't want a creeper t-shirt? Lots of potential cash here, just set up a place on the Minecraft website where you can buy anything that has to do with Minecraft and/or Mojang.
I like these ideas. Merchandise especially. I'm not sure what the contests could be, I assume creating things.
All of these would presumably make Minecraft cheaper in the future.
Agree with you and the posts above :smile.gif: , but I'm thinking more like entire ways, like a creeper/spider clock fits in with merchandise. I want a creeper grandfather clock xD

would the creeper clock explode?!?!?!?!
That would be funny, but I don't need a crater in my bedroom.
Make it make an explosion sound every hour so the player is constantly like "OH NO... MY FRONT DOOR... Oh, it's just the clock -_-"
