C&#8217;mon, guess.<\/p>\n<p>If you guessed 241,920,000 then you&#8217;re flippin&#8217; amazing, because that&#8217;s roughly how many times people log in to play Minecraft on a monthly basis.<\/p>\n<p>To put it in perspective, that&#8217;s 336,000 logins per hour, which is a little more graspable. Furthermore, when Minecraft 1.0 officially launched last Friday it saw 4,000 logins each second.<\/p>\n<p>The Minecraft launcher has downloaded a whopping 2 billion files. Roughly 11,000 skin downloads occur every second in-game.<\/p>\n<p>So far 4 million people have purchased Minecraft, making the game easily one of the most commercially successful indie projects of all time, and making Mojang and Minecraft mastermind Markus &#8216;Notch&#8217; Persson very rich.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s not all money and user numbers, Minecraft has also boasts a 97\/100 Metacritic score so far, with Eurogamer, 1UP and Gamepro giving it perfect scores. Currently Minecraft has the highest Metacritic score of 2011, but this may come down a bit as more reviews are posted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related article:<\/strong> <a title=\"Minecraft: 4000 people per second logged in on launch\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/26785-minecraft-4000-people-per-second-logged-in-on-launch.html\">Minecraft: 4,000 people per second logged in during launch<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3rhYLe4Q-IU?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"335\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that a lot of people play Minecraft every day?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":27087,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3],"tags":[881,333,879],"class_list":["post-26997","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-pc","tag-markus-persson","tag-minecraft","tag-mojang"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26997"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26997\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27091,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26997\/revisions\/27091"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27087"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
