Minecraft beta cracks 4 million

@nernberg you have to play it to understand before judging it, its really great. Its like 2 games in one with creative and survival.

this games so popular its pretty crazy. 4 million and its only beta... one thing though I wish was the crafting system was easier. Like an interface menu of items u need to make stuff... instead of looking it up on the internet to do stuff

Lol how much money does Notch make of this!?

Haven't played in a few weeks leading up to the release because they have multiple betas within betas and you can't keep a server updated. Once it goes live tho, gonna get that castle finished!

Not interested at all in minecraft, I wonder how many of those 4 million copies are actually being played on a regular basis.

Not begging, just wondering, why do most of the indie only go to 360?

So pointless, but so damn addictive.

It's not a game for everybody but it's pretty damn fun all the same !!

I sed to see pics and vids of mniecraft and think.. balls to that its 2011 games should actually look liek somthing rom 2011 not 1981.. Anyway i got persuaded to buy the game and well got addicted.. there is just so much fun to be had when playing with other people. Well worth the money they where asking for it.. it seems very basic at first but there is so much too it..

@nernberg Only way it'd be unappealing to you would be if you had a serious lack of imagination, that's what makes this game so great. It's not another one of those many games that hold your hand the whole way through and tell you exactly what to do.

So how will the RPG they've made it into work and will THAT full version be what is made available on 360?

I can't believe something this simple would be such a huge hit. Way to go, makers on Minecraft!

I never played this game but looking at videos, the game just looks unnapealing to me. I don't get why it is so popular.

@maitkarro I believe the current versioning numbers apply to the Beta version. Once the game is out of Beta and in full release the old version numbers don't really apply.

@BobTrivioni Who (except yourself) cares about the server, you can make your own one and invite your friends in it, if you set the online-mode false even your friends who don't have a premium account can play in the server.

Meh 1.0 will come out isn't there like version 1.9.4 out now, so wouldn't it be more like 2.0

PS3 version? please....

it would sell more if they release it on steam,pc retail x360/ps3(retail and xbl,psn) i say it would sell more then 5 mil in the first year if they do that

But But PC GAMES DONT SELL! (:

Hopefully there will be no rollbacks after release on Minecraft servers, and hopefully they don't pull a Microsoft move and add a ton of expansions and make you pay for them considering the games simplicity.

longest beta ever

Will we lose our creations?

FIRST. This is kinda nice, the game is coming out full. Don't really know what else to say... well, that's all I got for now.
