Minecraft was created by Markus Persson (Notch) on 18 November 2011 a swedish video game programmer or game designer who was the owner of Mojang until it was bought by Microsoft for 2.5 billion dollars.
Notch:
On 13 August 2011, Persson married Elin Zetterstrand, who goes by the nickname "Ez" in the Minecraft community.On 15 August 2012, he announced that he was now single.
Persson has criticized both piracy as well as the stance of large game companies on piracy and he is a member of the Swedish Pirate Party. Under his direction, Mojang contributed a week to developing Catacomb Snatch for the humbel bundle mojam, for which the $458,248 raised would be donated to charity.
In May 2012, Persson expressed his views towards ElectronicArts and their release of the "Indie Bundle", calling them a "bunch of cynical bastards". "EA releases an 'indie bundle? That's not how that works, EA", he said, "Indies are saving gaming. EA is methodically destroying it." On 19 December 2012, the Electronic Frontier Foundation announced that Persson had donated $250,000 to the EFF's Defend Innovation project. On 25 March 2014, Persson announced that an Ocolus Rift version of Minecraft will never happen after Facebook bought Ocolus, stating that "Facebook creeps me out".
In September 2014, Persson announced that he, along with fellow Minecraft co-founders Jakob Porser and Carl Manneh, would be leaving Mojang after completing the sale of the company to Microsoft for $2.5 billion. In December 2014, he purchased an 8-bedroom, 15-bath mansion in TrousdaleEstates, a neighborhood of Beverly Hills, California.
How did it gain so much attention:
Minecraft has gained so much atatention due to all the things it let gamers do.
"The point of making video games is to do what you cant do in real life :)"
The game had an infinite world which let players build whatever they wanted with a variety of blocks and take time gathering them, the point was to make a game which let players build whatever they imagined / wished they could do in real life. It takes you through an adventure to the past but where as there is no difficulties of hard work and effort its just Fun first!
