Minecraft 2 Release News, Rumors and Latest Updates: What Does Microsoft Have Planned For Minecraft Now That It Owns Mojang
We have the latest for you on the release news, rumors and latest updates of Minecraft 2. Microsoft owns Mojang and hence it also owns Minecraft. This is a situation that many fans of the game find alarming. Big publishers are fond of taking different approaches to game development than the Indie studios from Sweden. After all, the drive to monetize could take the game to places it wouldn't have gone under the guidance of Notch and Co. however, Phil Spencer, the head of Microsoft Xbox division sounds like he does not have any rush with the game.
According to PC Gamer, Spencer was engaged in an interview by IGN podcast and he described Microsoft as "Shepherds of the [Minecraft] IP," and he also said that the game is not going to rush into licensing the property so that they could be used in things like animated television series or movies. He said, "I think we earn permission to do other things with Minecraft when we meet the Minecraft community desires around what the franchise is." He continued to say, "I don't want us to go and try to make it something it isn't, but I do think it has room to grow."
This is also true for the direct sequel of the game. He continued to say, "I don't know if Minecraft 2, if that's the thing that makes the most sense." "The community around Minecraft is as strong as any community out there, and I think we need to meet the needs and the desires of what the community has before we get the permission to go off and do something else. It doesn't mean everything we're going to do is going to map to 100 percent of their acceptance, because I don't know if there is any topic where 100 percent of the people agree. But we look at job one, is to go out and meet the needs of the Minecraft community first, and then we can think about ways we can actually help it grow." What do you think of the new game?
