The first purchasable version of Minecraft I remember didn’t even have a working health bar.
Notch sold the game to Microsoft long before it was ever a complete game. Why program something when you can sell players on an idea and then sell that idea to Microsoft?

Notch sold the game to Microsoft long before it was ever a complete game. I know it’s a bit fuzzy with Minecraft since it’s constantly getting updates, but I find the claim that Minecraft was “incomplete” before selling it to Microsoft is a big stretch. Version “1.0” came out 3 years before the Microsoft sale, and at least to me, the game felt “complete” long before 1.0
