Mojang has a reputation for being one of the biggest indie game success stories ever, and now it's officially becoming part of Microsoft. In a deal announced a few hours ago, Mojang will join the family of Microsoft-acquired companies for a staggering $2.5 billion dollars (or two and a half Instagrams, if you're keeping track).
Microsoft still hasn't said much about what they plan to do to Mojang once the purchase is complete later this year. Carl Manneh, the CEO of Mojang, wrote on the company blog this morning:
