I agree that this is old news. I had a job interview with Reveal NZ in 2004 who did exactly this. Their job advertisement required regular software engineers, or image processing engineers with at least a PhD in image processing!

Minecraft Reaches Beta Status, Price Goes Up 279

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday December 21, 2010 @07:23AM from the another-notch-in-the-belt dept.

Eric writes "After over a year of development, Minecraft has hit Beta status today. Minecraft was developed for about a week before its public release on May 17, 2009. With the new milestone, the price of the game has increased to €14.95; when Minecraft moves beyond beta status, it will sell for €20.00. The beta is more focused on polish and content. The aim is to add proper modding support via a stable API, some kind of non-intrusive narrative to help drive the game experience early on, and a late-game goal. Updates will be less frequent, so as to make sure stability is maintained thanks to more extended testing. Despite this, there have already been two beta releases: client and server Beta 1.0 followed quickly by client 1.0_01."
