We all know Minecraft is big, and not just in the size of the magnificent worlds it lets you create. Minecraft itself has become a part of today's popular culture, and with a regular appearance on the iOS Top 100 charts, this monster of a game had to have pushed some pretty impressive sales numbers in 2012, right? Well now Mojang has decided to let us in on just how impressive those numbers really are.
The story of Psychonauts is the stuff of video game legend. It's the tale of a game that almost didn't get made — thanks to one publisher dropping out — and managed to failed to sell when it initially launched, despite near-universal critical praise (because its new publisher utterly failed to properly promote). Since then, the game's become a cult classic and fans have been clamoring for a sequel from developer Tim Schafer. Now, after a particularly big week, it looks like Schafer might get to make the sequel with some help from Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson.
We all know that Mojang's Minecraft is crazy popular. How crazy? Well, Markus Persson (better known as Notch to many) announced that the game now has 20 million registered users. In medical terms, that's somewhere between "straightjacket" and "lobotomy" levels of crazy.
