the very first builds were free, I'm assuming that was for when he actually started selling the game (unless he was taking pre-orders/donations, I actually don't know about those), and Minecraft was way cheaper when it first started being sold than it is now! That really is a different sign of success lol
Alpha 5€, beta 10€, release 20€, then $20
As in, Mojang put the $ slightly higher originally, then microsoft raised the € price to 25 to "fix a price disparity"
I don't get why you were donvoted, this is exactly the truth, they even made the worse bedrock edition even more expensive on consoles at 30€ despite Minecraft being one of the most sold games of all time and then even added fuckass microtransactions to it, greed is the one thing Microslop is good at.
