Notch, creator of indie smash hit Minecraft, just wrote on his personal Twitter account that his game has now sold in 500,000 copies. And the game isn't even out of the alpha-stage yet! If you've opened a browser during the last couple of months, you probably haven't been able to miss hearing about the title - and if you've already bought it, you probably haven't opened a browser for months. Those protective walls won't build themselve after all!
A big congratulations to Notch from all of us here at Gamereactor. Go indie gaming!
