The most successful game in history boycotts the crypto

Minecraft is not just a game; This is a phenomenon: immediately after its first launch in 2009 in beta, and about two years later in the final version, it became a hysterical hit. In 2014, Microsoft acquired Mujang for $ 2.5 billion, to become the owner of the goose that lays golden eggs. As of April 2021, the game enjoys sales of 238 million copies – the highest figure per game in history – and about 740 million active players, which placed it in fourth place in the world in the number of users. Minecraft’s status is so prestigious that it enjoys an entire cultural world revolving around it: movies, series, YouTube videos, songs, sub-games created by Microsoft itself or independent creators, and more imitations than can be counted on in a reasonably long article. Therefore, the company’s decision to ban the use of NFT in the game has far-reaching consequences, as the entire industry sees Minecraft as a role model.
