  They released the Windows 10 version for free for a period of time. That’s the version that is cross platform with the likes of the Switch and Xbox One iirc. The RaspberryPi version was also released for free but you know, It’s the Rpi not not exactly a power house. And I’m sure the Java version has been on sale a couple of times. I ended up buying the game on the 360, PC and Android over the years (though I think I only paid something like 10p for the Android version during a sale or Google Offer). Yeah it’s a pixel game, yes it’s Java, yes it can run like shit, yes it’s a sandbox game with no real objective. But it’s surprisingly relaxing. I’ve lost count of the amount of hours I’ve spend just building.

  My kids love it. They learned to play it from teenagers who have moved on. And they're teaching littler kids how to play it, too. Maybe that's the thing.

  There is a reason why game publishers don't take decisions based on programming languages.

  If you don't understand Minecraft, then don't play Minecraft. I bought it when it was $7, way back in the alpha days. I bought it because I was excited by the idea. I'd still pay $30 for it today, if I didn't already own it, because I still love the idea.
