In other words, the full price of the game is $40.
It only cost about $25 back when I bought it, inflation be crazy

No it isn’t, that’s the deluxe edition, it’s still $30 (discounted to $15).
Just looked up my original receipt from Mojang back in 2010, it was €9.95 ($13.59). The blocks have apparently gotten more expensive since then, though I guess it costs money to add all those cosmetic blocks every year.
I bought Windows 10 edition key for a single dollar back in the day when it wasn’t popular. Now since java and bedrock are merged to one account, I have both. That’s crazy
Got windows 10 edition for free since I had java edition when it launched. Then I got the cape for owning both versions when the accounts merged. I’ll take the win
I can one-up that: I bought Java Edition around 2016, claimed the free Bedrock license in 2017, then claimed the other license for each of my original licenses when the accounts merged. I’m still surprised that that worked lol
2 accounts for the price of one? Nice
This is not inflation. Minecraft has been in development for over 15 years. It continually improves, and it’s still not the price of a normal AAA game. If anything, Minecraft is too cheap.
I remember when I brought it was $29
I bought it about a week after it stopped being free lol, got it for about $5 iirc. I’m constantly surprised that a company like Microsoft is continuing to support a game I paid $5 like a jillion years ago lol, one of the few “wins” a guy can get these days.
Same; I was one of the first buyers. Got a few people interested in the game. It’s wild to imagine now, but at that time nobody had heard of it, obviously. Which meant it was an uphill battle to get them to play it, because ‘the graphics sucked’.
I put thousands of hours into it. It’s still the best value for money game, ever.
I think the lowest it ever was is 10 bucks. That‘s what I paid in alpha and in nearly 15 years I‘ve never heard of it being as low as $5.
It’s very possible I’m misremembering.
Tried looking the receipt up out of curiosity, but it was before 2010, so it would have been on my old hotmail account. Managed to get logged into that, but Microsoft has deleted all my old emails, so that’s unfortunate.
As far as looking online, I see a few places where people are having this exact same $5 / $10 debate, but neither side seems to have proof.
At this point, I’m just gonna say you’re probably right, lol.
Can’t remember how long ago I bought it, but it was either beta or pretty alpha at the time
Looks like I bought it in Alpha, damn near 15 years ago. Paid 9.95 EUR.
