Minecraft Developer Mojang Has Changed Its Name
Minecraft developer Mojang is moving into the new decade with a new name, or at least a revised name. The company is now known as Mojang Studios, and it has a new logo to go along with it.
Inspired by the developer’s expansion into multiple offices around the world, Mojang Studios’ new name represents its scale and how it has expanded far beyond a small team working only on Minecraft.
The new logo is made up of little gadgets called “Mojangs,” appropriately enough, and in the trailer they are turned and twisted around to spell out the studio’s name. It sounds like it won’t be the last time we hear about the somewhat sentient gizmos, and they should pop up again as we learn about future Mojang Studios projects.

Matthew Lillard on the ‘Bummer’ of Not Being Cast as Shaggy in Scoob!
Fans who’ve watched the new Scooby gang movie, Scoob!, will surely have noticed that, for the first time in a long while, Matthew Lillard is not voicing Shaggy. The Scream actor has been providing the voice for Scooby-Boo’s best pal, Shaggy Rogers, in animated projects for the better part of two decades, ever since he played the role in the first live-action Scooby movie in 2002.
In a huge change up, Will Forte plays Shaggy in Scoob! and recently Entertainment Tonight spoke with Lillard about this shocking changing of the guard.
“Yeah, about Scoob! I don’t have a lot of good things to say,” Lillard lamented. “I wish them all well. I hope the movie does really well.”
“It was a drag and I was surprised that it happened,” he added. “You know, Hollywood’s an interesting place and I’ve been around for a long time. Some of them are easier than others, when you don’t get a job, but that was a bummer. I like playing the part. I like sort of having a legacy in a career that’s been 30 years.”

Dear SCOOB.
I hope you’re everything the world needs in this time of crisis. Have a great opening. #zoinks. .
