Yes, the deal is real. Mojang is being bought by Microsoft.
是的，這個交易千真萬確，Mojang被微軟買下來了。
It was reassuring to see how many of your opinions mirrored those of the
Mojangstas when we heard the news. Change is scary, and this is a big change
for all of us. It's going to be good though. Everything is going to be OK. <3
看到你們不斷替我們發聲，使我們感到很安慰（譯註：這句看不太懂）。這次變動對我們
所有人來說既劇烈又可怕，但將來總會變好，一切都會沒問題的<3
Please remember that the future of Minecraft and you – the community – are
extremely important to everyone involved. If you take one thing away from
this post, let it be that.
請記得，Minecraft和你─這個社群─的未來，對於任何與這次事件相關的人都極端重要。
如果你只想從這篇文章中帶走一項東西，請帶走這個原則。
We can only share so much information right now, but we've decided that
being as honest as possible is the best approach. We're still working a lot
of this stuff out. Mega-deals are serious business.
我們現在只能分享一丁點的資訊，但我們已經做好誠實為上策的打算。我們仍在持續處理
大量的事情，鉅額交易不是件輕鬆的工作。（譯註：求修飾這段）
Why did you sell Minecraft?
為何你們要賣掉Minecraft？
Minecraft has grown from a simple game to a project of monumental
significance. Though we're massively proud of what Minecraft has become, it
was never Notch's intention for it to get this big.
Minecraft已經從一個簡單的遊戲成長為一個巨大且重要的計畫。雖然我們對於Minecraft
的成就極端自豪，但如此的巨獸卻從來就不是Notch的初衷。
As you might already know, Notch is the creator of Minecraft and the majority
shareholder at Mojang. He's decided that he doesn't want the responsibility
of owning a company of such global significance. Over the past few years he's
made attempts to work on smaller projects, but the pressure of owning
Minecraft became too much for him to handle. The only option was to sell
Mojang. He'll continue to do cool stuff though. Don't worry about that.
你可能早就知道，Notch是Minecraft的創世神和Mojang的大股東。他早打定主意不希望承
擔一個擁有世界級影響力公司的責任。在過去這幾年，他一直想要從事較小的計畫，但是
擁有Minecraft的壓力對他來說已經大到無法承擔了。唯一的選擇是賣掉Mojang。不過他還
是會繼續搞很酷的計畫，別擔心這點。
There are only a handful of potential buyers with the resources to grow
Minecraft on a scale that it deserves. We've worked closely with Microsoft
since 2012, and have been impressed by their continued dedication to our game
and its development. We're confident that Minecraft will continue to grow in
an awesome way.
只有一小搓有潛力的買家，有足夠的資源使Minecraft成長到它應有的規模。我們從2012
年就和微軟有緊密的合作，他們對於我們的遊戲及其發展持續不斷的貢獻使我們印象深刻
。我們有信心Minecraft會持續往令人敬畏的方向成長。
Minecraft means many different things to millions of people across the world,
and to each and every Mojangsta. We feel that this is the best way for
everyone – you guys included – to benefit.
Minecraft對於世界上數百萬的玩家，和每個Mojang員工來說都代表許多不同的意義。我們
認為這對於所有人─包括各位正在看這篇文章的人─是最好的。
What about the other editions of Minecraft? Will they stop being developed?
那Minecraft其他平台的版本呢？它們會停止開發嗎？
There's no reason for the development, sales, and support of the PC/Mac,
Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, Vita, iOS, and Android versions of Minecraft to
stop. Of course, Microsoft can't make decisions for other companies or
predict the choices that they might make in the future.
沒有理由停止Minecraft對於PC/Mac、Xbox 360、Xbox One、PS3、PS4、Vita、iOS和
Android的開發、販賣及支援。當然，微軟無法替其他公司作決定或者預測其他公司未來的
決定。
We're extremely proud of all editions and the awesome things you have
achieved through playing together.
因為有大家的一起參與，我們對於所有版本Minecraft和上面驚人的成就都極端驕傲。
Is the game going to change? Will we still be able to make videos, mods,
awesome builds, and all the cool stuff we've created over the past few years?
這款遊戲會變嗎？我們仍能做影片、模組、世界奇觀、和所有我們這些年搞出來的超屌玩
意嗎？
Minecraft will continue to evolve, just like it has since the start of
development. We don't know specific plans for Minecraft's future yet, but
we do know that everyone involved wants the community to grow and become even
more amazing than it's ever been. Stopping players making cool stuff is not
in anyone's interests.
Minecraft會繼續進化，就如同一開始那樣。我們還不知道微軟未來的計畫，但我們確信任
何與之相關的一份子都會希望這個社群會繼續成長，並不斷超越過去。阻止玩家搞酷玩意
絕對不會受到任何人歡迎。
What about the Mojang staff? What's happening to you guys?
那Mojang員工呢？你們會何去何從？
Though it's too early to confirm which of us will continue working on
Minecraft or other projects, we predict that the vast majority (if not all)
Mojangstas will continue to work at Mojang for the time being.
現在要決定我們要繼續替Minecraft或其他計畫工作還太早，不過我們預期大部分員工都會
暫時在Mojang繼續工作。
The founders: Notch, Carl, and Jakob are leaving. We don't know what they're
planning. It won't be Minecraft-related but it will probably be cool.
創世神們：Notch、Carl和Jakob會離開，我們不知道他們接下來的創世計畫，那不會和
Minecraft相關，但可能會很酷。
What's happening to the other Mojang projects, like Scrolls?
那其他Mojang計畫呢？像是Scrolls？
We don't know yet. We'll share any news as soon as we do.
我們還不知道，一有新消息我們就會立刻發佈。
Will you still be able to tweet about features and interact with the
community on a personal level, just like you've done over the years?
你們仍會在推特上以個人名義繼續與社群互動嗎？就像以往那樣？
Yes! That's not going to change.
當然！這不會改變。
How much money was the company bought for?
公司賣了多少？
Microsoft acquired Mojang for a smooth 2.5 BILLION dollars.
微軟花了25億美金來買Mojang。
Thanks for reading everybody.
感謝所有看這篇文章的人。
Owen – @bopogamel, Lydia – @lydiawinters, and the Mojangstas.
