A million people played Minecraft at the same time
On January 10, 2015, a record was recorded for the number of users playing simultaneously in "Minecraft". According to Gamespot, citing Mojang's official information, there were a million players online. "For the first time, we have the ability to record the number of people simultaneously playing Minecraft. Oh my God," said one of the game developers , Nathan Adams on his Twitter page "Currently, more than 998,000 people are playing our game at the same time. This is not even close to what we anticipated." According to Adams, we are talking only about players on PC, Mac and Linux version 1.3 and higher, who were online at the time of the measurements. But if Mojang could still count offline players and take into account early versions, as well as owners of pirated versions, the final figure would be much higher. It is worth noting that Minecraft managed to set a new record, beating one of the most famous online games, Dota 2 in popularity. The official premiere of "Minecraft" - a computer game in the genre of "sandbox" with elements of survival - took place in November 2011. A little later, versions of the game for mobile devices running Android and iOS operating systems were presented. As a reminder, on September 15, 2014, Mojang and Minecraft were sold to Microsoft for $ 2.5 billion. The Topic of Article: A million people played Minecraft at the same time. |
