In what it terms “boring economics,” a new post on the Mojang blog has just announced some pricing changes for Minecraft consumers around the world, and it’s not good news if you’re looking to buy a copy of the block building blockbuster anywhere outside of the US, as prices in most regions are going up.
The prices are for Minecraft for PC, and not for console or Pocket Editions, but as the price hikes take place on May 23rd, you may want to snap up a copy or two now, if you’re in one of the affected regions.

You might notice that the last two entries, Japan and Korea, don’t have old prices associated with them, that’s because Minecraft hasn’t been for sale in these regions until now, so if you’re in Japan and Korea, welcome to the world of Minecraft!
