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.
While I (jeb_) was away at Game Developer’s Conference and a short vacation, the new Minecraft members Dinnerbone, Tahg, Grum and EvilSeph were hard at work fixing multiple bugs in Minecraft 1.2. The patch contains mainly bug fixes, but we also threw in a couple of goodies:
Chat history
Much better chat editing and controls (you can even mark text!)
Some new decoration blocks
The client should be updated in the launcher, where you also can see the full change list. You can find the launcher and server binaries for Minecraft here: http://www.minecraft.net/download
How will the famous PC game Minecraft work on home consoles? Gamers can get a taste of what’s in store as we sit down with Lead Producer Roger Carpenter for walkthrough and commentary on the blocky world running on Microsoft’s Xbox 360.
