On this day 10 years ago, Microsoft acquired #Minecraft developer Mojang for US$2.5 billion.

Ten years later, Mojang now has been part of Microsoft almost twice as long as it has been independent.

It’s interesting to look back at the original announcement video from Xbox as well:

    I’m not sure if I’m way out of the loop or you’re a schizophrenic? Who is “you guys” I am just saying what I think is true, I don’t care about Notch, I am fully in support of ending racism and inequality too, but I’ve got no idea how you can link what you have and think that’s “literal Nazi” talk. It’s antisocial dork talk at best.
