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.
Well a bunch are physical copies but they made the distinction of "mobile" versions as well (Gameboy physical version yes lol)
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
The console versions have DVD versions
Ahh right that's so fucking obvious it's embarrassing 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.
I wonder if the telemetry measured what % was modded (having some mod loader installed)
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.
