As it was rumoured last week Microsoft have purchased Minecraft creator Mojang for $2.5 billion. The founders: Notch, Carl, and Jakob are leaving & Notch has said the following:
"I love you. All of you. Thank you for turning Minecraft into what it has become, but there are too many of you, and I can't be responsible for something this big. In one sense, it belongs to Microsoft now. In a much bigger sense, it's belonged to all of you for a long time, and that will never change.
"It's not about the money. It's about my sanity.
