Big news about acquisition of the Swedish game developer of Minecraft, Mojang, for £2.5bn, arrived on 15 September 2014. Some fans were concerned about the future of the game, though Microsoft seemed to reassure the gaming community that nothing will change and the game will continue to grow and get updates as usual. Although the game is now owned by Microsoft, the Playstation platforms will continue its existence too, with the PS3 platform enjoying large sales and appearing in top 10 of video games every week, and with PS4 platform releasing soon.
