    So I bought Minecraft back in Alpha... pre-Halloween update.

    I remember Notch saying that people who bought it back then would get all versions of Minecraft for free?

    maybe I'm not remembering it correctly... anyways.

    Do you guys know if I get the Xbox 360 and mobile versions for free?

    i'm sure he just meant updates on the PC not different platforms. Would be scummy to hold him to that.

    That's a great idea! Email him about it.  That hat wearing Swedish bastard already has like 500 million.

    @Sin4profit: I'm definitely not holding him to it, but... like @TheMustacheHero said:

    I honestly think it's pretty selfish to expect another two copies of it...but I guess that's just me.

    I think he's already clarified that text meant all future updates and versions, not ports of the game. I'm sure in Alpha and part way into Beta he had literally no idea that Microsoft and Android would approach him, or even if he had the idea himself, it wouldn't have been until he saw it's potential.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure he meant PC updates, and versions meaning "alpha, beta, full release". He changed the EULA to reflect this a while back.
