1) Microsoft, so far, has done everything right. People hate it because developers pretend to hate it so that they can have Linux all to themselves lol.Strongly disagreedJust found out Microsoft bought mojang
This is bad
This could cause minecraft to take a bad turn
No, It might not be bad. Just wait and see.
Incorrect Thing To Think!
Microsoft messes everything up.We're all scared and mad at Microsoft
I'm not. Mojang just made a really good business move.
Incorrect Thing To Think!
Notch quit Mojang. Do you call this a good buisness move?I've changed my mind
Apple is better than Microsoft
Microsoft still rocks. Now they just added to their awesome by buying one of the biggest games among teens and kids.
Because of this, 1/6 of the players QUIT MINECRAFT.
2) Notch quit Mojang because he has no reason to work anymore. He's loaded.
3) Who cares? They bought the game. Mojang still has the same amount of money regardless of whether they play or not…
Remember that Mojang is still it's own company just like before, it's just that Microsoft now owns all of it's assets.
Notch said it wasn't for the money, he said it was his sanity.
And, Microsoft could ruin it

“buying it before Google or Facebook does”
:3
No.
Google or Facebook never would have bought it. They never tried to.
This is not a “I guess if you look at it this way we should be glad that Microsoft bought it” situation.
THIS IS SERIOUS.

THIS IS SERIOUS.Well obviously. Those at Mojang had to figure out who got what of the 2.5 billion dollars.

There are a lot of bad things Microsoft could do to it (Indie game developers are more inclined to do things for the players and not for money, at least in my experience) but it'll all work out.

Since when? Only the 8.1 update was free, and only for existing 8 users.This means Minecraft will never be open-sourceEven though Windows updates are free?
New updates will be ‘DLC’s and cost $50 each
There will probably be centralised servers

Yeah, one indie company that really stood out to me was Supergiant Games. Hopefully Mojang will bring us more great games.THIS IS SERIOUS.Well obviously. Those at Mojang had to figure out who got what of the 2.5 billion dollars.

I wish Google or someone had bought it, at least they'd know what to do with it - they'd focus on making it a creative platform.I guess if you look at it that way we should be glad that Microsoft bought it.Just found out Microsoft bought mojangIt's called…

However, I think we should all be very thankful that it was not Facebook.

http://www.pcworld.com/article/2683273/3-ways-microsoft-can-ruin-minecraft-and-3-ways-it-can-make-mojang-even-better.html#tk.nl_pcwbestI strongly disagree with #1 for how it can ruin MC because there's already “IAPs” in play, in player-run servers.
I'm not even sure how #3 would work for Microsoft… how would it transform into a ‘productivity tool’?
#1 for helping would be awesome, but it could make Google and Apple fans mad that they can't use Docs/Drive/iCloud
#2 somehow I doubt
#3 That's probably going to happen.

I know. I really have no opinion so far. They pretty much laid out what could happen, though.http://www.pcworld.com/article/2683273/3-ways-microsoft-can-ruin-minecraft-and-3-ways-it-can-make-mojang-even-better.html#tk.nl_pcwbestThat's pretty much how I feel: Just sitting here playing 'till something happens.

Welp, I'm bored.
So here's random info: 1: I once found over 20 emeralds while mining for diamonds. 2: XBOX ONLY!!! If you try to place and mine wood or a material block, you will have one on the floor, and one in your inventory, but have the pickaxe in slot 2 and the block in slot 1, and with practice, you can be rich!
3: I cleared out a HUGE area for a HUGE house! (also had to clear out a forest to get building materials. Eh. (With a diamond axe with effeicency II and unbreaking II
)
