Minecraft is a "sandbox" video game that's popular with kids.

Minecraft is widely seen as the game the Danish toymaker should have made in its attempt to conquer the digital world but its own plan, Lego Universe, flopped.

人们普遍认为，乐高在征服数字世界时原本应该制作出《我的世界》这样的游戏，但乐高自己的开发计划，即《乐高宇宙》（Lego Universe），却没有取得成功。

One person who will not stick around to see what changes lie in store for the game, however, is Minecraft's creator, Markus Persson.

但是，《我的世界》的创造者马库斯·佩尔松（Markus Persson）不会留在公司，亲眼看着它发生变化。

The plan was to develop other games but instead Minecraft became a bigger success than anybody imagined.

他们原来的计划是再开发一些别的游戏，可《我的世界》火得超乎任何人的想象。

In his spare time Mr Persson developed Minecraft and within a few months it was making nearly as much money as JAlbum, which had more than 1m users.

佩尔松利用业余时间开发了《我的世界》，几个月后这款游戏创造的收入就快赶上有逾100万用户的JAlbum了。

As part of the deal, employees of Mojang, the Swedish developer that created Minecraft, will join Microsoft Studios, which already publishes games like the blockbuster Halo.

该交易的内容之一是，《我的世界》的瑞典开发商Mojang旗下员工将加入微软工作室（Microsoft Studios）；后者已经发行过一些游戏，比如大热的《光晕》（Halo）。

Minecraft players have made cruise liners, rocket ships and even basic computers, as well as pixel-perfect recreations of Minas Tirith in Lord of the Rings.

The uncompromising interface is probably why so many parents are baffled by their children's love of Minecraft.

许多家长对孩子热衷《我的世界》百思不得其解，很可能是因为其游戏界面有些单一。

Mojang remains dependent on one product but Minecraft's continuing success has dulled questions about developing other games.

Mojang仍然只依赖一款产品，不过《我的世界》的持续成功，让开发其他游戏的任务显得不那么紧迫了。
