I haven’t played it, but I’ve heard it said that MineCraft is basically the equivalent of crack on a stick. It’s an amazing game that doesn’t cost much, but it hooks you so deeply that you can never put it down. But maybe you’re stingy or, like me, you just haven’t had time to check. Well do it now because it looks like it will be free for the next few days.
Something went wrong with the game’s auth servers thanks to a sudden rise in the game’s popularity (I guess Penny Arcade had something to do with it) and instead of shutting down all @#!* % reduced and not allowing anyone to play, MineCraft developer Notch has decided to let everyone play for free for the next few days or when he fixes everything. That’s pretty much a cup full of awesome stuff.

Was Minecraft ever free?
Minecraft has been around for a long time and some people (and outdated websites) will reference a free version that was available. This was back when Minecraft was still in a beta state, so it was full of bugs, didn’t have many of its current features, and was still “finished.” That free version is no longer available and is no longer supported.
There are some limited ways to have free Minecraft experiences, but none of them are really comparable to the full version of the game.
