4J Studios was for sale for 2.5 billion dollars since 2012. There was a rumor of Microsoft Planning to Buy the big Scottish Company That brought you Minecraft; 4J Studios. Well this is no longer a rumor because it happened. A lot of people did not want this because they thought if they buy Minecraft, they are going to take it off PlayStation Consoles. Well Thanks to Microsoft, they did not take it off. They said "At Microsoft, we believe in the power of content to unite people. Minecraft adds diversity to our game portfolio and helps us reach new gamers across multiple platforms. Gaming is the top activity across devices and we see great potential to continue to grow the Minecraft community and nurture the franchise. That is why we plan to continue to make Minecraft available across platforms – including iOS, Android and PlayStation, in addition to Xbox and PC." |
