A battle of two creative minds erupted over Internet this week between Minecraft co-creator Markus Persson and Gears of War designer Cliff Bleszinski.

Following Facebook's acquisition of Oculus VR for $2 billion Tuesday, Persson canceled a version of Minecraft he and his company Mojang were developing for Oculus Rift, Gamespot reported.

Bleszinski, a key investor in the virtual reality game developer Oculus VR and Epic Games designer, blogged about the new venture and also called Persson a "pouty kid" for canceling the game.

Persson took to Twitter as he responded to Bleszinski's name calling.

"I'm a man driven by principles, not capitalism," Persson tweeted, adding, "so I guess I'll just have to get used to the occasional name calling."

Persson canceled the virtual reality version of Minecraft shortly after the announcement of the business deal because he wants the game to be free while promoting virtual reality and fears that under Facebook's leadership, it would turn into a fully featured game.

Bleszinski fired back.

"I understand," Bleszinski said. "To be clear, it was the manner in which you pulled the plug that I mentioned, not the act itself."

Oculus Rift creator Palmer Luckey said that he hopes Persson will one day want to work with VR again.

"(Persson) is an exception to the rule," Luckey said. "After he sees everything we are able to do, I hope he will change his mind."

On a more positive note for the Swedish based company, Minecraft had some updates for its Playstion and Xbox users.

Microsoft Studios head Phil Spencer told IGN that the Xbox One version for Minecraft is almost complete.

"(4J Studios) feels really good about the progress that they're making," Spencer said. "It's their game, and it'd be Mojang's game. We gracioualy host it on our platform."

Additionally, PlayStation LifeStyle reported that the 1.04 patch was released for the PS3 edition of Minecraft on Thursday and included new content packs for the game.
