Follow the rise of Minecraft, from it's humble beginnings as a one-man experimental project to its overwhelming success in the gaming industry accruing over $1 million in weekly sales. With close to $0 spent on advertising, Minecraft's popularity can be marked by this year's sold-out MineCon event in Las Vegas, NV, on November 18 & 19.
