Daniel Kaplan, business development director of Minecraft development stdio Mojang Specifications, revealed to Gamesindustry.biz that the company is looking to expand into the publishing realm, and it may have something on the market as early as Autumn. Details are scarce at this point, and Kaplan admitted that the company isn’t sure what its first step will be.
The Minecraft community are calling for a Mob Vote boycott, labelling it "lazy" and even creating anti-Mojang propaganda to rally players.
“One user explained the community’s sentiment perfectly, sharing how “the fact that they’re a year off and add like, two mobs, a few blocks, and some bug fixes is absurd. I’ve seen modders do that s**t in WEEKS. and then… they open a mob vote as if they can’t just add all three.”
They can’t even get a current gen version out the door 3 years in. Mojang is a joke anymore.
They are owned by MS who don’t know what the difference between good and bad moves , good to bad games even. The one area MS is good at is monetizing games.

Their fun takes on alternative-universe games where Minecraft existed as a pixel-style side-scroller on the NES or a top-down RPG on the Game Boy. Kudos to the artists, because increasingly I find myself actually wanting these games."
