So there's this little game launching today. Modern Fair Tycoon or somesuch. As it's literally impossible for you to not know, it's backed by a $327 quadrillion marketing campaign and will be purchased by everyone on earth. Twice. That in mind, seeing a previously unknown indie that's entirely bereft of explosions or Hans Zimmer or explosions achieve a similarly nuclear level of success is pretty damn inspiring. In response to the milestone, Notch merely tweeted “4milyay.” Meanwhile, Minecraft, er, actually launches next week. So hats off to Notch for that. Seriously, remove your hat. His is probably cooler than yours, so you're only embarrassing yourself.

Inspering, that 1 man can make something, and the next thing you know your bank account has to be calcuated with an equation
not exact, but the ball park equation would be
(11 * 1,400,000) + (20 * 2,600,000) = Gross USD roughly to date
minus whatever the goverment takes
minus production costs, grillcheese sandwiches
PLUS the next 9 zillion copys sold after launch at whatever the full price is.
His bank account = "Maltese Falcon" (almost)
