Only the classic game of “Tetris” has hit the 100 million mark in terms of sales and “Minecraft” takes the honor of being the second game to do so.
Critics believe that much of the success of the game can be attributed to the game’s open structure and limitless potential.
In “Minecraft,” gamers can build anything they can imagine using simple and colorful blocks. The game’s focus on creativity is why so many players, young and old, have become hooked on the game and continue to play even after years from its release.
Typical of game developers, Mojang has supported the game with a steady dose of updates that have added new mechanics, creatures, and materials. The game’s flexibility has also made it a smash hit in the classroom, teaching art, geology, coding and other subjects.
The game developer has expressed its gratitude to gamers for the milestone achievement of “Minecraft” yet again.
In its website, Mojang said that it is offering its heartfelt thanks to everyone who bought “Minecraft” over the past few years, no matter which platform they play on. It added that the company is constantly in awe of the “Minecraft” community and the amazing things that they have achieved. Mojang also said that “Minecraft” gamers are really the best.
