What is this institution responsible for mine craft and how did we get to this point?

Mojang is responsible for the 2^nd most popular game ever (minecraft) and was developed by Marcus pearson. It was realised on may 2009 on PC and Xbox 360. Within weeks it had won over 3 awards at conferences and was a massive hit right away. The game was later released on the next gen consoles and was even sold vire the cloud as a digital product. This minimised costs for mojang as they didn’t need to make a physical product ( a disk)in order to make money. 20 years on from tetras it has sold the most amount of units for any game in the space of 10 years. it has a large following and many consumers purchase add on's in game to expand their gaming experience. it is also a way to keep minecraft popular and current. the majority of minecraft content on the Internet is made by the consumers which means that minecraft has a lot of free following. compared to tetras which was released and never expanded and there was little following for the game as there was no Internet.
