As it turns out the server issues that plagued Minecraft last week -- which led to an impromptu free-to-play weekend -could have been a perfect marketing technique for the indie world-building title. When paired with exposure from Penny Arcade, this free weekend was able to make players hungry for a legit version of the game. Minecraft servers According to a Minecraft sales-tracking website, the game was purchased 25936 times during the 24-hour period after it was brought back online last Wednesday, netting its creator, Markus Persson, somewhere in the neighborhood of $350,000.

Although sales have decreased slightly after the servers' rebirth but they're still much higher than before the free weekend. This is a lot of money -- but nothing in comparison to the monetary benefits the players of the game have lost because they sunk whole lives into DIY projects. We just want to revamp our marble floors in our palace and complete the diamond tower, and dam this lake and then we're done. We're serious!
