In other words, the full price of the game is $40.
It only cost about $25 back when I bought it, inflation be crazy

Just looked up my original receipt from Mojang back in 2010, it was €9.95 ($13.59). The blocks have apparently gotten more expensive since then, though I guess it costs money to add all those cosmetic blocks every year.
This is not inflation. Minecraft has been in development for over 15 years. It continually improves, and it’s still not the price of a normal AAA game. If anything, Minecraft is too cheap.
No it isn’t, that’s the deluxe edition, it’s still $30 (discounted to $15).
I bought it about a week after it stopped being free lol, got it for about $5 iirc. I’m constantly surprised that a company like Microsoft is continuing to support a game I paid $5 like a jillion years ago lol, one of the few “wins” a guy can get these days.
Same; I was one of the first buyers. Got a few people interested in the game. It’s wild to imagine now, but at that time nobody had heard of it, obviously. Which meant it was an uphill battle to get them to play it, because ‘the graphics sucked’.
I put thousands of hours into it. It’s still the best value for money game, ever.
I think the lowest it ever was is 10 bucks. That‘s what I paid in alpha and in nearly 15 years I‘ve never heard of it being as low as $5.
It’s very possible I’m misremembering.
Tried looking the receipt up out of curiosity, but it was before 2010, so it would have been on my old hotmail account. Managed to get logged into that, but Microsoft has deleted all my old emails, so that’s unfortunate.
As far as looking online, I see a few places where people are having this exact same $5 / $10 debate, but neither side seems to have proof.
At this point, I’m just gonna say you’re probably right, lol.
