They need a slightly higher performance requirement, which basically limits it to the 'gamer' section of the population. It basically has a giant market that includes any one that has a computer less than 3 years old.Īmnesia and Penumbra, unfortunately, have a significantly smaller market for a number of reasons. It can also be considered as a casual game. Minecraft is a 'happy' game with some scary moments but with lots of things to do. I suspect it's the nature of the games that frictional games produce that is the main loss of sales. To underscore the majority of replies, I too just feel like inspite of the games niche market and flaws, it still deserves a bigger piece of the pie. However, when we collect all the variables and conclude that "for this reason and this reason" they're not seeing the sales figures they'd enjoy, it all seems to suggest that they're the masters of their own fate in a lot of ways. I think we've all made a very fair assessment on this situation, but it's still unfortunate that they're scraping by. Just that he's been really abnormally fucking lucky!
I'm not knocking Notch or saying he's not up to the task, yabba dabba babble fuck. I'm not saying Minecraft isn't an awesome game just relative to the rest of the independent gaming world, his open world and highly re-playable time waster has struck gold (or a huge diamond vein 2 layers from the surface next to a huge vat of clay blocks).
I hope Notch realizes how fucking lucky he is. still 10x less sales than Minecraft for a complete game created by 5 people on minimum wage.Īnd from what they're saying here, will likey continue to be on minimum wage for a couple years
