We all know Minecraft, the global sensation that has been going on for over a decade and even has LEGO sets based off of it. But did you know that Mojang was partnered with LEGO for a while to make a LEGO-themed version of the game? Or that LEGO considered buying the company? Bits N' Bricks Episode 1 - Minecraft was released today, and if you listen to it on YouTube or your favorite podcast platform you can learn all about how the two groups tried and failed to work together. Journalist Brian Crecente and documentarian Ethan Vincent do a great job of unearthing this untold story that is ultimately about LEGO failing to innovate and cooperate with the smaller Mojang. If you like videogames and LEGO, I think this is a must-listen podcast and can't wait for the next episode!
