TBH Mojang should have the resources to do that on his own, Minecraft is the best selling game of all times btw.

Minecraft is extremely mismanaged, the fact that the java version is still the ”main” version after all these years is just crazy

[barrkel]

Why is it crazy? Any rewrite that would be as flexible wrt mods would be shaped similarly.

Have you played Bedrock? It sucks.

I imagine it's far from the best-earning, though. It's a one-time purchase.

Skins, media packs, servers, hosted realms, upsales through all consoles, multiple copies for multiplayer with/between your kids… also a mass revolving shit tumbler of account stuff on the backend that invalidated lots of old accounts…

I bought during the beta for a lifetime of goodies, had to buy it again after the buyout, then again after an update to MS accounts wasn’t acted on, and then for the Switch. I’ve bought Minecraft 4 times, with another on the horizon if it keeps popular.

They do have a bunch of add-ons now with Realms notably, but I wonder if this revenue goes to Mojang or to another Microsoft branch for tax reasons. To say nothing of derived media, plushies, Legos etc.

[npodbielski]

My kids have minecraft caps, tshirts, pants, pajamas, hoodies, lego, pencils, toys and probably other 100 things I do not remember right now

So no. It is not one time purchase.

You don't buy in-game money like GTA5, sure.

Then again, you'll never see a group of pre-schoolers wearing GTA5 hoodies and hats and backpacks, and you can't watch the GTA film in cinemas.

You need subscription for multiplayer
