In September 2004 Microsoft took out the checkbook to disburse $ 2.000 billion to buy Mojang, the studio that created Minecraft, one of the most popular and successful games in recent years. Time has run out of Redmond's reason, and also covered the mouths of all those who criticized the risky move.
And is that More than 25 million copies of Minecraft have already been sold for PC and Mac, worldwide. It is important to bear in mind that this figure only takes into account the copies of the Java version created for Windows and Mac. If we added the copies sold for the rest of the platforms, the figure would skyrocket.
No one ever thought that a very simple game, and that almost any type of user could play and especially enjoy, was going to end up becoming a real gold mine for Microsoft. The possibility of building without end, and without limits is undoubtedly one of its great exponents that has served to hook a huge number of users.
At the moment there are no concrete figures, but many estimates dare to point out that Minecraft already has more than 100 million active players, something that very few games can boast about.
Not everything is going bad for Microsoft, and we could almost say that except for its mobile devices, everything works perfectly, although almost nothing as well as its beloved and adored Minecraft.
