Minecraft cross - platform
1. Cross platform gaming is when a game allows gamers to play each other via multiple platforms e.g. Playing a game on a Xbox and being able to connect and play with someone playing on a PC.
2. The "Better Together" update is exciting to the gaming world as it allows cross platform gaming on platforms such as Xbox One, mobile devices and Windows 10 PC's
3. Children playing online games may not know who they are playing with and what sort of person they are playing with. Also, it is easy to lie about age and other information online, this could be used as a method for child grooming.
4. In my opinion, the future for cross platform gaming looks bright, it is a great way for players to connect without having to use the same platform. However, if every game in the future allows cross platform gaming, the use of a different console or platform will be rendered unnecessary and useless. People choose different consoles for the features on different games, if they are all made the same it won't be really effective for loyal customers.

1. Accroding to the writer, why might autistic children such as his son, be attracted to Minecraft?
They are able to experiment and do a lot of advanced things they couldn’t do in real life. Also they’ll be able to pick it up pretty quickly and it allows them to socialise. Also the visuals are simple, open designed and logical.
2. Which features are included in the education version Minecraft and how useful do you think they might be as an educational tool?
Teachers set up classroom servers where students build scale models of their own towns, learn about Geography, Agriculture, Architecture, Physics etc.
3. Because of Mojang’s simple and pure vision
4. Modding community means the people who develop Minecraft and make it more enticing for users.

6. Minecraft collaborated with LEGO
