Marcus Person , aka Notch , was a game developer at King through March of 2009 and primarily developed browser games.

In his free time, he was working on personal projects and participating in the TIG Source forums for independent developers.

The game that would rise from the ashes of Ruby Dung and one of Person 's earlier games, Zombie Town didn't have a formal name yet as Minecraft .

Microsoft bought Mojang in November 2014 in a $2.5 billion deal.

The game is a cornerstone of gaming culture even today .

Minecraft was released in 2011 and has been hugely popular since then.

It was the first game to be released that was infinitely replayable.

Minecraft is now the blueprint for other viral gaming hits like Fortnite .

The infamous Minecraft movie is coming to theaters.

Despite not being the talk of a town in the same way it was, Minecraft is still a gigantic part of the gaming zeitgeist.
