The more interesting number imo is the 4.6 million people who bought the game. Very impressive.

can't wait until it hits 5 million

someone should make a "It prints money!" GIF with Notch xD

no you can register for a free account to get access to an early limited build they use as a demo, there probably are a lot of dupes in there tho.

It's not available for purchase via Steam so no.

I'm not exactly sure what the 16 million accounts are made up of. However, I do know that you can play an old alpha version of Minecraft for free on the site and I think you have to sign up for it though I doubt it's just that. *edit* Actually it looks like you can play the singleplayer alpha version for free. Don't know about the multiplayer one.

I think the game is tied to your account so I would think sales would be a lot higher if many of those accounts are just duplicates.

I'm part of the 4.6 Million and proud of it.

Well deserved!

german gamestar/gamepro met the guy behind this game and they said it's nice to see how great this guy handles all his success and sudden wealth. yeah you can't see that often when people get rich very fast, most can't really handle that and start to be idiots.
