RokuGuide Quick Look: Minecraft: The Story of Mojang (2012) is a documentary about independent game studio Mojang during the first year after the launch of their successful title "Minecraft." This Roku channel provides a means of viewing this film on a Roku-connected TV after purchasing the video online.
Anyone interested in this film will likely know what Minecraft is. If you aren't familiar with this game, the Minecraft website describes it this way:
"Minecraft is a game about breaking and placing blocks. At first, people built structures to protect against nocturnal monsters, but as the game grew players worked together to create wonderful, imaginative things. It can also be about adventuring with friends or watching the sun rise over a blocky ocean. It’s pretty. Brave players battle terrible things in The Nether, which is more scary than pretty. You can also visit a land of mushrooms if it sounds more like your cup of tea."
If you don't want to pay for the film, you can reportedly download it for free from The Pirate Bay, as long as you don't want to watch it on the dedicated Roku channel.
