EA (Electronic Arts) という海外ではよく知られた割と大きなゲーム会社で色々作ったり販売したりしている。その EA の オンライン販売として Origin というサイトがあり、そこに Minecraft を入れたいようだけど、Notch は NO といっているらしい。
EA wants Minecraft on Origin, Notch says No
Electronic Arts has made a significant push with its Origin distribution platform in recent years, and the company believes that Minecraft would be a perfect addition to their library of titles. Rich Hilleman recently spoke out about the possibility of EA managing a game like Minecraft, giving Mojang an opportunity to expand on its already successful Minecraft property.
“I’m sure EA is very successful at monetizing games, but the more we don’t do what they would do, the happier I am. #nooffense,” said Notch.

One year ago, we started Mojang. Back then, Minecraft had sold between half a million and one million copies, and now we’re up to almost four million copies sold, we’re expanding to two new platforms, and we’re getting good progress done with our new game. In one month, we’re going to Las Vegas to celebrate the full release of Minecraft with our fans. And we’re getting sued by one of my favorite game developers.
