DjArcas, the developer behind FortessCraft posted on his twitter that the game has yielded over $2,000,000. in sales. This still pales in comparison to Minecraft’s hundreds of millions in sales, but is impressive in itself.
“[…] I just became the first #xblig to generate $2m; that’s 160 MILLION Microsoft points!”
Markus Persson, A.K.A. Notch has personally said that he will not be taking any legal action against Minecraft imitators. This post-modern indie-developer logic has now netted DjArcus a whopping 2 million in sales.
However, figures may drop dramatically when the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft finally hits the Xbox Live platform.
“Markus Persson, A.K.A. Notch has personally said that he will not be taking any legal action against Minecraft imitators.”
Legal action for what? Why do people write shit like this?
“ID have decided not to sue anyone over every first person shooter ever made”
I don’t see you writing that, so why am I a special case? More importantly, you owe a great apology to those people who DID create this genre; Notch simply stole the rendering and graphics style from Infiminer, added a bunch of mobs, made millions, and is suddenly hailed as a original programming genius.
Why don’t you get a quote from Zachtronics, about how they aren’t going to sue me either? Or Ken Silverman? Or Voxlap? Or the Comanche engine?
