Mojang Sells to Microsoft for 2.5 Billion Dollars
Yes… It is true.. Minecraft is selling to Microsoft, but not for the reasons you would think. Notch didn’t sell it for the money, he says this, "Not about the money. It's about my sanity." Even though the community says Minecraft will wither under Microsoft’s rule, Microsoft says they will they will keep all of the platforms. Notch explains as soon as the deal with Microsoft is finalized, he plans to leave the company to work on “small web experiments.” When the deal closes, Mojang will sit within Microsoft Studios, alongside the developers of Halo, Forza, Fable and other franchises. Microsoft expects to break even on its multi-billion dollar Mojang acquisition by the end of June 2015, according to an investor relations release from September. Founders Markus ‘Notch’ Persson, Carl Manneh and Jakob Porser are leaving the company following the deal. It’s likely however, that Microsoft will seek to leverage Minecraft in both the console market. In March 2014 after Facebook announced the acquisition of virtual reality firm Oculus, Persson cancelled a planned version of Minecraft for the company’s Rift headset, saying that “Facebook creeps me out.”
