One of the Minecraft developers shared a graph today of different launches of Minecraft across PC platforms, and the results are interesting.
We asked what these launches covered:
Looks like Linux still has some ways to go for Minecraft fans. It's good to see it as high as it is though, as I honestly expected it to be lower than it is.

All I am concerned about is how long Minecraft will be updated on Linux, for I really enjoy that game...I am always coming back to it and starting new worlds to build in. Especially after big updates, I play for months before giving myself a tiny break of a few days before hopping back in. I would hate to see Linux Support to be shuttered, Minecraft is such a special game that I can't ever stay away from. I would never go back to Windows for a single game, I like Ubuntu and Linux in general and I wouldn't want to run it in Wine as it would take a performance hit.

My son still plays Minecraft in Linux. He's six, though. He has time limits as to when and how long he's aloud to play.

I'd like to have that kind of snapshots for a game like TF2, CS:GO or Dota2.

Why are people even playing Minecraft anymore? There are so many open-source clones that improve on it a thousand fold. Minecraft is a scam anyway: You're paying for the basic game, which gets really boring really quick. They have hardly even developed ANY part of the game in all these years, milking all the money they can (Infiniminer devs must really be kicking themselves in the ass.). The only reason Minecraft is worthwhile is the mods, and none of the modders get the money paid for the game. At most, donations, although certainly less than what Mojang (and now MS) gets.
F*** Minecraft, as even many Windose users are saying. Support OSS devs with all their BETTER versions of the game concept, and all the tons of mods they already have:
Terasology (Free, Open-Source, Java, 10000x visual quality)
Minetest (Free, Open-Source, C++)
Freeminer (Minetest derivative, boosted efficiency and gameplay)
Voxelands (Minetest derivative, boosted efficiency and gameplay)
Manic Digger (Mono, C#, C++, C, Free, Open-Source since release of .NET source-code by MS)
And plenty of others.
