The extremely popular indie game Minecraft already earned quite a lot of money and the fascinating thing is that it isn't even out of its alpha phase yet. According to newest reports, the game now sold over 500,000 copies.

Minecraft currently has 1.6 million registered users. Markus "Notch" Persson, the game's creator, revealed that his priority is to get "the multiplayer mode fully functioning," said Persson. "Once that's in place, I think there's a huge potential in competitive multiplayer modes like capture the flag and so on."

The game has an imminent Halloween update, which you can learn more about in an article posted over at PC Gamer.
