| - Markus "Notch" Persson was inspired to create Minecraft by other similar survival and sandbox games, such as Dwarf Fortress. Although found in Minecraft such as construction, resource gathering, and randomized environments had all appeared in prior games, Minecraft was possibly the first to combine them in such a fashion. The Alpha version of Minecraft became publicly available in mid-2009. Over the next two and a half years, Notch quit his day job and gradually added new features in update after update. Major steps included: the creation of "Survival" mode in October 2009, which essentially made Minecraft into a survival game; the introduction of randomly generated maps in February 2010; online multiplayer for multiple modes in June 2010; and weather in late 2010. Meanwhile, Mojang began selling the beta version of Minecraft, promising free updates to those who purchased it at such an early date. This tradition of free updates continues to this day, as anyone who as purchased Minecraft for a platform continues to receive all updates for that incarnation of the game for free.
