The 10 Best Selling Games of All Time
Speaking of a phenomenon, Minecraft has forged a legacy for itself so big that it hasn’t just become the Lego of video games, it’s so big that it actually sits beside Lego as a cornerstone of modern entertainment. Adults and children alike have flocked to this digital space to unleash their creative juices, as well as enjoy the hundreds of mods and different content modes that constantly reinvent what sort of experiences Minecraft delivers.
What’s so amazing about this global success is that Minecraft has done it all without peripherals and spin-offs. Unlike Pokemon, there’s no TV series or playing cards. And it doesn’t have the collective weight of dozens of titles or the gift of a dominating console platform as did Mario. Minecraft is just a very good game, and people can’t get enough of it.
