Microsoft is discussing acquisitions with sandbox game Minecraft maker Mojang

Microsoft is discussing acquisitions with Mojang, the game-maker behind the sandbox game Minecraft, which is said to be priced at around 2 billion dollars-a generous price for the development team, and its line-person "close as early as this week". If the game becomes windows/xbox, it would be a disaster for the fans of the game.

Microsoft declined to comment on the matter, but with Facebook's 2 billion dollar acquisition of Oculus Rift, a platform-making company (of course, Microsoft also played a game) why to buy a game production company, will be involved in a new device to come out? Mojang founder Markus Persson is also very interesting to Microsoft, who has always been a critic of Microsoft, and therefore in the gaming community has been a lot of fans and sought after.

Minecraft is divided into two editions, official and Classic editions. The Classic version is free, but only the creation (Creative) mode has stopped updating. The official version adds a survival (survival) model that includes features such as enemies, life values, and props. The biggest difference between Minecraft and other games is that the game relies entirely on UGC, which relies on players to produce game content. In the game, the player will be thrown into a completely random world of 3D blocks, and they can build the whole game world at their own will.

As early as June 2013, the game sold 11 million sets. And at this time it is no longer a simple game, to the Lego bricks, film company authorized to make its industrial chain value can be seen, and in the future may also come into the classroom language and construction subjects teaching.
