Microsoft Acquires Minecraft
微软收购《我的世界》
Microsoft has acquired Mojang, the maker of Minecraft, one of the world's best-selling video games. The Swedish firm, which currently employs 40 people, was purchased for 2.5 billion dollars. Mojang’s Lego-like video game allows users to build their own virtual worlds. It has approximately 100 million users and is a top-selling app across many devices and consoles. Analysts believe that Microsoft will try to use this deal to promote its Windows phones to a young demographic. The makers behind Minecraft will join the team responsible for other Microsoft video games, such as Halo. Many Minecraft enthusiasts are opposed to the acquisition. These virtual architects fear that their creative community will be forced to deal with new restrictions when Microsoft takes over.
微软收购Mojang公司，该公司创作了全球最畅销的电玩游戏《我的世界》。目前，这家瑞典公司拥有员工40人，收购价格为25亿美元。Mojang公司出品的乐高类游戏能够让用户自行创建自己的虚拟世界。该游戏用户数量约为1亿人，并成为了许多电子产品和游戏机的畅销应用软件。分析人士认为微软此举是为了手机操作系统“Windows phones”造势，希望能够吸引更多年轻人的目光。《我的世界》制作团队也将负责微软另一款电游“Halo”的制作。许多《我的世界》发烧友反对收购。“虚拟建筑师”担心他们的梦想之城会因微软的收购而增加更多限制。
