Et uddrag fra den nye Minecraft-bog ovre på Wired, har afsløret nogle detaljer omkring Microsofts opkøb af Minecraft-udvikleren Mojang.
Mest interessant er nok det beløb, som hver ansat blev tilbudt fra Microsoft, for at blive mindst 6 måneder efter opkøbet:
"Everyone at Mojang was made the same offer: whoever stayed on board for at least six months after the sale would be rewarded with two million Swedish crowns, approximately three hundred thousand dollars, after taxes."
De ansatte fik heller ikke det bedste førstehåndsindtryk af deres nye chefer, da Microsoft-repræsentanten, der besøgte udvikleren, blev ved med at referere til dem som bare Minecraft, og ikke som Mojang:
"According to people present at the meeting, Matt Booty misspoke several times when discussing Mojang's future. Instead of saying Mojang, he referred to the company simply as Minecraft, quickly correcting himself. For the others in the room, it was awkward to say the least. Less than half of them worked directly with Minecraft. Every time the man from Microsoft confused the name of the company he'd acquired with the game it was known for, he inadvertently pointed to the elephant in the room. Yes, Microsoft had acquired all of Mojang. But it was only really interested in Minecraft."
