Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) http://kotaku.com/report-microsoft-trying-to-buy-mojang-creators-of-min-1632692098 Guess it depends on the details of the agreement, if Notch and co would go for it. Creative control and all that. Doubt Microsoft would pull cross platform support, at least as long as it remains a valid revenue stream.

Posted September 10, 2014 If Microcrap doesn't drop support for Minecraft on other platforms than sure enough they will find a way to hide a backdoor that allows them to spy and collect data on non-Windows/Xbox users also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 10, 2014 Atleast Mac has better customer service than Microsoft ( in my personal experiences) My only concern is, doubt it'll happen, they screw up mods or don't allow them/kill the server system and force you to use realms. I don't think they're planning in making a lot off just minecraft though, seeing as it's a pay once deal, millions already paid their 15$. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 10, 2014 They are buying it for the customers it brings to them 50 million people have bought minecraft and one article i read said that last year the company made like 375 million so there is still money to be made off it i guess but for Notch getting 2 billion for a game he himself has already stopped working on seems like a no brainer to me. Funny thing they also mentioned a movie deal not sure what that is about i can't even imagine what kind of movie can be made within minecraft..idk I do know that it will likely change YouTube if microsoft starts using copyright on minecraft content on YouTube. I don't think they would as that is how mincraft got to be so huge but you never know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 15, 2014 Ugh. The modding community is currently busy exploding, at least one "big name" modder have already announced stopping work on everything minecraft-related and probably others will follow. This is a sad day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 15, 2014 Never fails to amuse how people can get worked up over even hypothetical scenarios. Granted one can make educated guesses; however, wait and see before grabbing torches and pitchforks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
