+---- Thread: Microsoft is buying Minecraft? (/showthread.php?tid=4439642)

Whatever Microsoft touches turns into shit. That's my answer.

Your video is an obvious attempt to gain views. Obviously Mojang's not gonna give up Minecraft, as Minecraft is their primary money-making machine.

If this goes through, I am done.
EDIT:
I suddenly feel no contempt toward the Bukkit devs that decided to shut down the project. It is clear where Mojang is headed and this truly should be the end. Microsoft apparently entered talks three months ago and is now finalizing the purchase, which likely has a large part (along with Realms) to do with how the EULA is suddenly now being treated. It's as if Microsoft commits genocide on the employees of companies it purchases and replaces them with mindless bureaucratic drones.
EDIT2: "Not really..." should be "Fuck no", "Yeah" should be "I am misinformed"

Oh fuck the minecraft community, it's like Chinese whispers.
"Microsoft is buying Minecraft?" should be "Microsoft are talking to Mojang about buying the company"

But if they try to buy Mojang then I hope they don't deal.
i think they'll keep it up just to get a little more money in there pockets

"The two companies quickly agreed on a framework and approximate price and have been working out the details since", the Bloomberg report states. "Persson will help out with the transition, though he is unlikely to remain beyond that".

Anyone else hear that?
It's a sound of running water.
Oh, I know what it is! It's Minecraft going down the toilet.

Updates: Everyone that thought it was a rumor, think again! It's official notch has contacted Microsoft to ensure the deal goes through.

Quote:But according to the report, not only did he agree to it, it was actually his idea in the first place; he "reached out to Microsoft a few months ago, based on a positive working relationship on Minecraft for Xbox," it says, and the two companies have been hammering out the details ever since. If and when the deal goes through, it's expected that Notch will assist with the transition but won't stay with the company beyond that.
How do you guys feel about this?

Well, it's one hell of a rumor if Notch himself is going with it..

I dunno, but I have a feeling that they'll turn it to shit, if they purchase it.

Same man, I'm more worried about the PS3 and PS4 version. Just wonder what "Microsoft" would do towards them. :/

Did you even read the last picture?
He's not commenting on rumors. This is currently a rumor.
