Anger at Microsoft’s $2.5bn deal for Minecraft maker Mojang
Fans of the game Minecraft have expressed their anger following the announcement of the game’s creator Mojang and Microsoft reached an agreement on an $2.5bn (PS1.5bn) deal.
After the announcement, the book was criticized on social media for its sales of more than 54 million copies.
Mojang, Minecraft and Microsoft were hot topics on Monday afternoon.
If you’ve never had the chance to try it, players build structures using retro Lego-style blocks. They explore an extensive map, and fight others.
AstrosMC posted on a Minecraft forum, “Microsoft will kill us.”
Thomas Heath wrote on Newsbeat’s Facebook page: “Microsoft are just going to mess everything up. If that happens, I’m out.
Mojang’s founder, Markus “Notch” Persson has previously been critical of Microsoft.
However, not every reaction to the sale has been negative.
Tom Bramwell, the editor-in-chief at eurogamer.net tweets “Clearly, I am not @notch. However, I can identify with his comment about wanting to not be defined by anything for your entire life. Godspeed!”
Blackspawn wrote: “I believe he’s great and I fully agree with and respect his decision.”
