Mojang Studios

Background
Mojang Studios (formerly known as Mojang Specifications and Mojang AB) is the creator of the successful indie PC game Minecraft. The game, which won many awards and has sold over 200,000,000 copies as of 2021, is a cult icon among PC gamers. In Minecraft, the player is spawned on a randomly generated world and must gather resources and build shelter before nightfall, which is when enemies appear (such as skeletons and spiders). The game is also available on other consoles and phones.
