Watch The Minecraft Documentary For Free
Noted video game documentarians 2 Player Productions has uploaded its lauded documentary Minecraft: The Story of Mojang to YouTube for all to see.
The film runs approximately an hour and 45 minutes and should be full of interesting insights. Of course, 2 Player Productions would like those who enjoy it after watching to throw some cash its way. You can get the DVD version among other swag at the official site. Give it a watch below if you're not at work or if you have a cake job with no Internet monitoring capabilities.

Our Take:
It may seem strange at first to give away a product for free, but 2 Player Productions has been around the block. It knows that people can watch anything they want for free in the dark corners of the Internet, so why not make some YouTube ad money off it and garner plenty of new fans that wouldn't have otherwise seen the film?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
