I read somewhere that Tetris has sold 520 million copies world wide.

EDIT: I read the article and they make the distinction of Teris having sold 520 million copies but it’s a total of variations. Do they not consider Minecraft also has variants as well (Xbox One, Xbox 360, Bedrock, Java, Pocket Edition which are the “same” game but different)? All I know for sure is I bought like 7 or more copies of Minecraft so they better thank me lol.

And in Tetris’ case it’s about actually copies of a game. Not just some license to play under ever changing terms.

I’m interested now if Minecraft ever had a physical copy. I did get a demo on disc with Maximum PC magazine back in like 2011-12 and then bought the full version online a few months later for around $9, still can’t believe I’m getting free major content updates in that same game
