On this day 10 years ago, Microsoft acquired #Minecraft developer Mojang for US$2.5 billion.

Ten years later, Mojang now has been part of Microsoft almost twice as long as it has been independent.
It’s interesting to look back at the original announcement video from Xbox as well:

The legacy console editions were far better than Bedrock imo. They were actually made for a console instead of porting a mobile version to console
Nintendo Switch Edition was absolutely my favorite, and now you can only play it if you had a copy before they took it off the marketplace.
Apparently the Switch version runs so shity on the Switch, people hacked the Switch and put Linux on it and ran the game in the emulator (that Nintendo seems to hate) which had better performance than running natively in the Switch OS. Maybe that’s more of a knock against Nintendo however.
Are you talking about Bedrock edition on the Switch, because that I believe? It’s a complete shitshow and all anyone can purchase anymore on the Switch. I am talking about pre-Bedrock, Minecraft Nintendo Switch Edition. It had none of the issues that they have introduced with Bedrock. And in my opinion the fishing mechanic on the Switch Edition was awesome. It just felt right.
