Minecraft now has 20 million registered users. At 70 kg each, that's 25% of the weight of the Great Pyramid of Giza.
Rock, Paper, Shotgun, in their sarcastically tone "Minecraft is in Dire Straights" posting, provides more info.
Speaking of which, just 4.7 million of those Minecraft users have paid up for the full version of the game (as opposed to the free Classic version), which is basically nothing. That’s only enough for Notch to afford about eighty new hats a day, which is more or less the same as being unable to to afford any hats at all. So, I’m calling it: Mojang will go bust and close within the week. It was fun while it lasted, eh?
