Anger at Microsoft's $2.5bn deal for Minecraft maker Mojang
Fans of the video game Minecraft have expressed anger after the game's creator Mojang and Microsoft agreed a $2.5bn (PS1.5bn) deal.

Thomas Heath wrote on Newsbeat's Facebook page: "Microsoft are just going to mess up everything. If this happens, I'm out.

However, not all reactions to the sale were positive.
Tom Bramwell, the outgoing editor-in-chief of eurogamer.net tweeted: "Clearly I am not @notch but I can relate to his comments about not wanting to be defined by one thing for your whole life. Godspeed!"
