Microsoft bought Mojang. (Minecraft)

[Skotti 2105]

For 2.5 Billion dollars.

 

 

 

Yes, the deal is real. Mojang is being bought by Microsoft. It was reassuring to see how many of your opinions mirrored those of the Mojangstas when we heard the news. Change is scary, and this is a big change for all of us. It’s going to be good though. Everything is going to be OK. <3

he founders: Notch, Carl, and Jakob are leaving. We don’t know what they’re planning. It won’t be Minecraft-related but it will probably be cool.

Jesus, this guy can throw money at anything he wants for the rest of his life.

Seeing as Microsoft hates pc gaming, rip pc minecraft.

See that's the thing. They never said how much of that 2.5 went to notch himself. There was a decent amount of people to pay

Yes everything will be ok because Microsoft doesn't have a history of buying out companies and getting rid of all the employees. But I'll give it to Microsoft that they are smart about it. They won't get rid of them until 6-12 months down the road and then give them a really nice severance package.

The 2.5 more or less would be the face price Microsoft is paying to "buyout" all of the existing shares.

 

Notch holds close to 70% of the shares.

 

Therefore, Notch gets about 1.4 after numbers and math and stuff.

Well shit. That's enough to make the next 10 game ideas he has plus pay for his great great grandkids college

He doesn't seem to be the kinda guy to focus on one thing, Minecraft seemed to put him in a horrible position because people wanted him to solely focus on that one game while he wanted to explore other projects. Now that MC owns Mojang I'm praying the Mod Support won't go away, that is what helped give MC staying power.

haha, I'll be interested to see how they make money on this deal.

Welp, good thing I've stopped playing Minecraft now. Sucks for all the kids that are basically going to get destroyed now that they've tasted videogame gold.

[BLiNDBoi 930]

This really isn't a big deal, long as microsoft doesn't destroy the image of what MC is...

It's not videogame gold. Cavestory is videogame gold. Minecraft is just Lego's for the kids with small attention spans.

Both of you make no sense...

Maybe now the desktop will finally be transformed into looking more like your real office space where you have to dig to find your files.

Retarded purchase by Microsoft.

Retarded purchase by Microsoft.

Pretty much. Game is/was at its peak. Unless they do something miraculous to get people to buy it and play, the are looking at a loss.
