Building a Business
The excitement about
Minecraft
encouraged Persson to
start his own gaming company. He joined with friend and
fellow game developer Jakob Porser. They called their
company Mojang.
Persson kept chatting with gamers and making
changes to
Minecraft
based on their suggestions. The
game spread like wildfire. By the middle of 2010, people
were buying four hundred copies of
Minecraft
every day.
Each download cost six dollars. That’s some serious cash!
There are many different ways
to play
Minecraft
, which helps
it appeal to gamers of all ages.
