That's... crazy. Awesome, but crazy. I knew Minecraft was a success story but not to that extent!

I was blown away too. My favourite line from the entire conversation was: It all ends up in an account somewhere, and I try not to look at it.
You have to respect the guys dedication. To not let that massive sum distract him and still get down to dirty coding is remarkable. More power to him.

#9As a redditer commented; I have never played minecraft for fear of never being able to put it down. It's fantastic it's been such a success, I think games like this will always appeal to a certain niche but no one count have predicted it would have been so successful to such a large audience.
With that said, I just contend myself with watching the odd youtube video. I dare not get closer.

Switch search engines :) It's the first result for searching "reddit what does AMA mean" on duckduckgo.
