Microsoft is officially buying Mojang, the Swedish game developer behind the hugely popular game "Minecraft," Microsoft announced on Monday.
The
deal will cost Microsoft $2.5 billion and the acquisition will close
towards the end of the year. "Minecraft" has been downloaded more than
100 million times on PC in the past 5 years and is the most popular game
on Microsoft's Xbox gaming system.
Microsoft is attempting to reassure Minecraft fans who have been vocal about their concerns
for the game's future. “ ‘Minecraft’ is one of the most popular
franchises of all time,” said Phil Spencer, head of Xbox. “We are going
to maintain ‘Minecraft’ and its community in all the ways people love
today, with a commitment to nurture and grow it long into the future.”
The people at Minecraft were less comforting: "We’re still working a lot of this stuff out," Minecraft wrote in a blog post on Monday. "Mega-deals are serious business."
