I saw a video a little while back from a Minecraft convention and it was mostly adults there. Also there is a book I plan to read about how the guy who made it took this simple idea and turned it into one of the most popular games ever. I once played it for about 20 minutes and was bored, but I am fascinated with its success and popularity.
