The controversial ending to Mojang Studios\u2019 Minecraft<\/em> has sparked plenty\u00a0of conversation over the years. A poem scrolls on-screen following after players defeat the Ender Dragon for a whopping nine minutes. Quotes from the \u201cEnd Poem,\u201d as the swan song is titled, have been inked on fans skins and turned into merch. But the story behind the prose is tantalizing in itself.<\/p>\n

In a lengthy Twitter thread<\/a><\/span>, Irish writer Julian Gough recounted meeting Minecraft<\/em> creator, Markus Persson 11 years ago and writing the narrative ending for the adventure game, Minecraft<\/em>\u2019s End Poem. Gough said he was pressured into signing a contract with Mojang Studios, and later Microsoft after the company purchased the studio back in 2014, after the ending had already been implemented in the game. The contract would sign over Gough\u2019s rights to Mojang and later parent company Microsoft. According to Gough, he was never under contract with Mojang when he wrote the game\u2019s ending, meaning he owned the copyright over the poem, not the corporation. In the thread, Gough uploaded a photo of the contract Microsoft allegedly sent<\/a><\/span> that Gough refused to sign in 2011 and in 2014.<\/p>\n
