It costs a lot of money to develop and sell a game, and since the reason they do that is to make money, they need to charge money for it. The reason it is so expensive is probably because they needed that amount per copy of the game to make a profit off of it.

Minecraft currently costs $21.95. It is 25% off while in beta, so be sure to get it soon. The game is a onetime payment, not a "Pay-to-Play".
Lag, viruses and not the proper game. And if you love the game so much why not support mojang (creators of minecraft) and buy it?
Traditionally speaking, Minecraft is not an educational game.
No, once you buy Minecraft, you will never have to pay for it again. For example, in the Alpha stage Minecraft was 10 Euros, and those who bought it in Alpha got to keep it when it went into Beta, where it then cost 20 Euros, so they got a discount pretty much.
since sims 2 is pretty old so it cost $19.99 i got the game myself and it cost that much
