UPDATE: Microsoft has now bought Mojang for 2.5 billion dollars
According to the Wall Street Journal, Microsoft is close to purchasing Minecraft developer Mojang for $2 Billion. Microsoft nor Mojang have yet to comment but Mojang founder Markus "Notch" Persson has been very vocal on Twitter about his desire for Mojang to stay independent. If Microsoft is to purchase the company, it would give them full control over Mojang titles, such as Minecraft. As a avid player of Minecraft for several years, I would like to see the company stay independent, if they sell the company, Microsoft may pull the plug on the iOS and PlayStation ports of the video game. More importantly, what do you think of this rumored deal? Do you want Mojang to stay independent or not? We would like to see your opinion in the comments below.
