> Mojang was formed after Minecraft's success

No. Mojang AB was formed in May 2009. That's the same month as Minecraft's original public release, long before its success.



By formed I mean as a development studio, not as a legal entity.


For context: Mojang started having employees in November/December 2010. At that point Minecraft already sold a few thousand copies per day. (It’s still selling several thousand copies per day, nearly 11,000 in the last 24 hours.)
