Minecraft - An Incredible Indie Game
Deozaan:
I'm just quoting from what was said in the interview. Maybe it was an average, which would (I think) be going down by now?

I don't mean to be nitpicky, but what you wrote wasn't in quotes and you didn't mention an interview. That said, I'm not trying to argue about it. I think I made myself clear previously that I didn't doubt what you said was true--at some point in time--but it doesn't seem to be the case as of now.

Which is why I mentioned it after the fact... sorry if it made it confusing.

but apparently someone made the same observation as you did

Though who knows? All I know is that it is a success story contrary to what the industry shills say, and that was my only point.

That's a very good point and I'm sorry I detracted from it by shifting the focus of this thread away from it. It's extremely interesting to see a game with such a low budget, a small "team" and not even fully developed yet become such a great success. A 30% conversion rate seems incredible to me.

I've actually seen quite a few success stories that get marginalized because of the fact that they are not overwhelming successes. This one, however, can't readily be ignored...
