I read somewhere that Tetris has sold 520 million copies world wide.
EDIT: I read the article and they make the distinction of Teris having sold 520 million copies but it's a total of variations. Do they not consider Minecraft also has variants as well (Xbox One, Xbox 360, Bedrock, Java, Pocket Edition which are the "same" game but different)? All I know for sure is I bought like 7 or more copies of Minecraft so they better thank me lol.
And in Tetris' case it's about actually copies of a game. Not just some license to play under ever changing terms.
I'm interested now if Minecraft ever had a physical copy. I did get a demo on disc with Maximum PC magazine back in like 2011-12 and then bought the full version online a few months later for around $9, still can't believe I'm getting free major content updates in that same game
Well a bunch are physical copies but they made the distinction of "mobile" versions as well (Gameboy physical version yes lol)
Good - it earned it.
Great gameplay, continuous updates for over a decade, AND Linux support!
Good, and it deserves it. I bought multiple copies over the years and sunk way more than 3000h in this game. Congrats Mojang/Microsoft.
Wonder how many are like my son who had it on the Xbox 360, then the PS4, then the Switch, and now on PC.
I still own a copy that Notch sold with the promise that you would get all futute updates and versions. I wonder on how many platforms I can get the game via that original purchase.
