In the fall of 2014, Microsoft announced the purchase of Mojang Studios, along with the rights to the incredibly popular Minecraft construction simulator. At that moment, the developers feared that the corporation would destroy their project. Game director Helen Chiang announced this in a recent interview with Gamesindustry.biz.

The chapter’s comment reads: “[At the time of purchase] the development team that brought their vision, creative direction, and heart and soul into this hugely successful indie game was internally pondering how quickly and how badly an evil Microsoft would destroy Minecraft.” Helen Chang went on to say that the corporation has allowed Mojang Studios to improve its project on different platforms. Moreover, it has become a top priority for developers. And then a direction for development was born, which was called “Better together”.

“Better Together” was about more than making Minecraft accessible on all platforms our players are most concerned about.– Helen Chiang continued, – but also the fact that they can connect to each other and create together “… Thanks to this approach, the project has support for crossplay between all platforms.
