reported purchase price of $2.5 billion.
The Minecraft Name, the Brand and the Assets are all property of Mojang AB or their respectful owner.

On September 15, 2014,
Microsoft acquired the video game development company Mojang, best known for Minecraft, for $2.5 billion.
They are quoted as saying that“His comments and
opinions do not reflect those of Microsoft or Mojang and are not representative of‘Minecraft,”.
The game sandbox open world
has had another important year of support from Mojang and Microsoft and the fruits have been collected.
Mojang makes no assurances about the specific future plans in store for Minecraft,
but says that for now it should be business as usual.
I wasn't exactly sure how I fit into Mojang where people did actual work,
but since people said I was important for the culture, I stayed.".
In their post, the Mojang community team says that Notch shied
away from controlling such a globally influential company, and would prefer to work on smaller projects.
While it's still not the full-fledged version Microsoft and Mojang have been hyping for months,
it will let you create dioramas, collaborate with friends on projects and tackle mobs in adventures.
Multiple games from Nintendo's publisher and developer partners have also achieved significant sales, such as Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle from Ubisoft,
Minecraft from Mojang AB and Fortnite from Epic Games.
After the great success of Minecraft, it was inevitable that other development teams would try, over time,
to follow in the footsteps of the title developed by Mojang in a more or less explicit way.
It hints that Microsoft and Mojang are increasingly comfortable with deploying Minecraft Earth in
its current state, and that it might be just a matter of time before most countries have their chance to play.
Helen Chiang, head of the Mojang project, talked about the result to PopSugar magazine,
and defined it as a demonstration of how Minecraft can not only win new players, but also manages to frequently return those who already own it.
