Someone told me if you bought Minecraft AFTER the Alpha (During the Beta) you have to pay for the updates (like that new one with dynamic lighting), is that true? Because I'm planning to buy MC.

Where does he get that

Where does he get that information from.
I never read anything about it on the website, updates for minecraft are free.
However, minecraft will cost more with every new version, alpha it was 10 euros, beta 14.95 and so on.

My understanding goes as

My understanding goes as follows:

ALPHA BUYERS - full game (all updates) is free, includes any possible 'expansion pack'-type addons for free as well - this deal is no longer available, for obvious reasons

BETA (and later, presumably) BUYERS - full game (all updates) is free, expansion pack addons cost additional moneys

So whoever said that was lying, unless he grievously misunderstood what counts as an expansion pack.
