Fintech

Hello.
I wonder if there are articles somewhere about how Minecraft was created/promoted/sold?
A cursory look on the internet turned up nothing.
I want to understand how exactly this game managed to shoot.

Answer 1

Notch has been a popular programmer on several forums. Then he decided to write a game (minecraft). He made the development process open to visitors to these forums. He was lucky and the project interested forum users, which brought the project initial popularity. And then on the rise.
In short, the following factors worked:
- Notch's fame in several communities;
- Good start time;
- Good idea.

There are many ways to make money on the lane: you can open your own server and donate there, but you need to know how to root, you can work as an admin on the server if you rummage around, you can write paid plugins and little things
