The acquisition of Mojang truly is disgusting. Notch's desire for an unnecessarily massive amount of money is obviously more important than the fanbase which he has created by making Minecraft. He has let down all of the faithful customers who have bought his game and played it for years.
Microsoft is also to blame. Literally the ONLY reason they spent 2.5 billion dollars was to display their wealth and showcase their power.
Mojang is basically dead now. They'll fire all of the developers and replace them with corporate stockholders, looking to gain a quick buck off of destroying something that people loved.
They'll keep Mojang around for a while to make some quick bucks, then either shut down the company or turn Minecraft into an Xbox One exclusive with about 200 available microtransactions.
Thanks Microsoft for killing something great that people loved, and thanks Notch for letting your fanbase down so you could get an unnecessarily large amount of money in your pocket. You both sicken me.
And that's me venting. I'm really ticked off if you haven't been able to tell by now. |

| I don't understand why you're all mad about it.... Either the game won't change or it will become better (In the majority of people's eyes) and they are unable to make it an exclusive, because it is already on PS. Shouldn't let you fanboy nature make you completely blinded by bias feelings. |

I'm so sad that Notch left :/ It's kind of like Flappy Bird all over again. He started gaining so much success that it drove him nuts. Hopefully he'll rethink this and return someday.

A game I enjoyed is basically dead.
"Either the game won't change or it will become better (In the majority of people's eyes) and they are unable to make it an exclusive, because it is already on PS."
They'll stop updating Minecraft on everything other than Xbox.

Oh yes, I'm a fanboy because I'm ticked off about Microsoft and Notch killing one of my favorite games.

Your just honestly a dumbass
Microsoft wont ruin MC. Even if i did give a damn about minecraft, it wouldn't matter, you cant do anything about it.
I see them doing good with minecraft, and if it was'nt for them, mojang would have done nothing with it in the next years. |

It's sort of hard to "return" as the owner of something you sold for 2.5 billion dollars. Hell, even as an employee.
But even disregarding that, Notch won't return. He's told the reasons for leaving, and one of them involves the fact that he doesn't believe he's a game developer, but instead just wants to make small experimental type games and just "play around" with mini games. This is actually what minecraft was at first.
tl;dr Notch doesn't like developing minecraft, or hit games. He likes making small experimental games, which other people can enjoy if they want. He left for a reason, and won't return. |

Microsoft ruins just about everything they touch. They don't care about their customers. They care about the money, and nothing else. Minecraft will simply become either another Xbox exclusive or another one of those microtransaction stuffed money making machines. |

Not many companies care about customers more than money.
Would your rather get 2.5 billion dollars OR Go bankrupt, but your game doesn't have DLC?
Besides, Microsoft isn't even the kind of company that ruined Minecraft. Have you seen just about any game published by Microsoft, made by one of the studios they own? Just about none of them, if any at all, are anything like what you're saying.
And have you seen the official Microsoft statement? They explicitly stated that Minecraft will not be a Xbox/Windows exclusive. In fact, here:
"That is why we plan to continue to make Minecraft available across platforms – including iOS, Android and PlayStation, in addition to Xbox and PC."
Microsoft paid 2.5 billion dollars. Even if you loaded the game up with DLC, it's extremely hard to make that back. Microsoft isn't buying Minecraft to ruin it and lose 2.5 billion dollars. They're buying it to have access to what's basically an entire generation of potential customers. |

@invisorum Did you not see what happened to rare when it was bought by microsoft... They ruined the company by making boring motion controlled wii copied wii fit games
This is how microsoft can ruin Minecraft, 1.The EULA is a problem because 80% of minecraft servers need money in order to keep the server up 2.Mods and texture packs will be copyrighted material, which will ruin 60% of mini games 3. A sequel to minecraft...Microsoft always maes sequels it wont make sense to make original minecraft to be made into a dumb Minecraft 2 that the notch didnt even make. 4. Minecraft youtubers, without mods or servers then basically minecraft youtubers are dead.
TL;DR version Mojang can be ruined like rare Mods, texture packs, and EULA can be ruined
IM NOT SAYING MINECRAFT WILL BE RUINED im saying it CAN be ruined. |

| Well, I have my doubts Minecraft would have advanced much further than it became. Notch has shown he doesn't want to keep working on it, and he's failed to deliver on many promises from the Alpha into the full game. Not to mention, Microsoft essentially spent 2 billion dollars for a single game and trademark. They paid only $375 million to own Rare, who has demonstrated it's capability in designing well-made games back in the N64 days. They are willing to gamble a ridiculous amount of money on the franchise, of course they'll release sequels. |

1. Minecraft servers do need money... and I'm pretty sure Microsoft has enough money to keep them up. I can already visualize a way that servers will stay up and running and even faster with less lag than before. 2. You can only copyright something that you made. Microsoft won't and can't copyright a mod. 3. Microsoft always makes sequels? Do some research before you try to tell someone this crap. 4. Minecraft youtubers suck anyways. Never watched them, never will. It's all the same stuff. "Hey guys, I uh... made a house and uh... it's made out of wood." or "Hey guy, we're playing *Insert minecraft minigame" and it's gonna be great while you watch us scream."

Have you gone on the Microsoft Website?
They said they will focus on all platforms
Pocket edition Xbox edition PS3+ [They arent going to act like what you think] PC [Now this they wont really put awesome updates mostly bug fixes probs] PI rasberry [LOL ITS BEEN 2 YEARS SINCE THEY ACTUALLY UPDATED THE PI RASBERRY VERSION Android: No fair they got mods but still they will continue the android vesions and IOS ............................................ Watch chimneyswift11's video he doesnt really care about the update unless it affects his videos.
To be honest Microsoft will maike minecraft better. Some of the old mojang workers are still there. |
