Minecraft sold to Microsoft for $2.4 Billion

Minecraft has sold to Microsoft for 2.4 Billion dollars making Notch and the Minecraft team very rich indeed.

The founders will leave the company and Minecraft it’s going to be interesting to see what Microsoft does with Minecraft now it has it. 

This is good move for Microsoft and gets them back in the game so to speak as far as big exclusive titles are concerned. 

Hopefully it will also mean Minecraft 2 and expanded resources for the Minecraft team.

As for Notch and the other Minecraft founders they are off to work on something new and spend some of that hard earned money.
