But first and foremost they’ve made us feel at home in the Mojang family and we’ve made friends for life working with them.

The change in ownership of Mojang does not affect this partnership. Our deal still stands.
At Oxeye we’re always optimists. We hope and believe that Microsoft sees and understands all the good things that Mojang and Minecraft stands for, that they understand the importance of the awesome community that has gathered around Minecraft and Mojang and sees what aspects of the brand and the company that are essential for it to continue to thrive: Open, honest communication and free reigns for the developers.

To Notch: We hope that this deal will help you get some peace of mind and that it will help you find your creative spark again. It’s probably always been there but we understand that the amount of attention you’ve gained since the start of Minecraft can act as a major mind-blocker!
Everything we do in life affect our surroundings and our fellow human beings. With your creation you’ve helped MILLIONS of kids and adults choose creativity and innovation over sometimes mindless entertainment. That is going to have an impact on our society for a long time to come.
Be proud of that! Go forth and prosper!

Peace!
