I see minecraft pocket edition on that list as well and it is neither a $0.99 game or a free to play. I think this is evidence that people are willing to pay for a well-made product. For me this article is simply a rehash of Zynga's whale strategy and we know how manipulative and frankly evil that is.

Minecraft already has brand recognition though. A lot of these other games don't yet.

And that recognition is among a less casual, often "hardcore" audience.

No way. It's children. Boys age 9-13 are Minecraft-crazy. Anyone with a server can tell you that.
