Microsoft compró Minecraft! Pareceria ser que el creador Markus Persson se hinchó las bolas de los reclamos de los fans agresivos y le vendió al diablo.

REDMOND, Wash. — Sept. 15, 2014 — Microsoft Corp. today announced it has reached an agreement to acquire Mojang, the celebrated Stockholm-based game developer, and the company’s iconic “Minecraft” franchise.

The Mojang team will join Microsoft Studios, which includes the studios behind global blockbuster franchises “Halo,” “Forza,” “Fable” and more. Microsoft’s investments in cloud and mobile technologies will enable “Minecraft” players to benefit from richer and faster worlds, more powerful development tools, and more opportunities to connect across the “Minecraft” community.

Under the terms of the agreement, Microsoft will acquire Mojang for $2.5 billion. Microsoft expects the acquisition to be break-even in FY15 on a GAAP basis. Subject to customary closing conditions and any regulatory review, the acquisition is expected to close in late 2014.

Para ponerlo en perspectiva, U$S 2.5 mil millones es el 62% de lo que pago Disney por fucking Star Wars (mismo precio por Marvel)

Whaaaaaat????? TANTA guita mueve Minecraft?????

Nunca lo jugué, pero viendolo desde afuera parece pedorro como la mierda, aunque tengo la sospecha de que si lo llego a jugar me va a parecer endemoniadamente adictivo

no se si es tan adictivo, ya que si tu creatividad es corta o te da paja poner bloque por bloque, te embolas rapidamente.
