Anger at Microsoft's $2.5bn deal for Minecraft maker Mojang
Fans of the video game Minecraft have expressed frustration following the announcement that creator Mojang and Microsoft reached to a $2.5bn (PS1.5bn) deal.
The book which has sold more than 54 million copies, has been widely criticized on social media following the announcement.
Mojang, Minecraft and Microsoft were all hot topics on Monday afternoon.
If you've never attempted it, players construct structures using retro Lego-like blocks, explore the vast map and fight against other players.
AstrosMC posted on a Minecraft forum, "Microsoft will kill us."
Thomas Heath wrote on Newsbeat's Facebook page: "Microsoft are just going to screw everything up. If that happens, I'm out.
Markus "Notch", the founder of Mojang has previously been critical of Microsoft.
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 however I can relate to his remarks about not wanting to be defined by a single thing for your whole life. Godspeed!"
Blackspawn wrote: "I believe he's great and I fully understand and agree with his decision."
