Well minecraft Is doomed to now become one of the worst games ever since Microsoft can manage to mess up every thing they touch.

Yes, they paid 2 billion dollars for a game just to make major detrimental changes and get rid of its popularity and player base. I think this might turn out well.

Question: Will Mojang be making more snapshots, or will Microsoft take care of that?

There will most likely be no more updates to the game.

Actually, as far as everyone's been informed, the majority of the Mojang team will continue to work on Minecraft with the exception of its 3 founders. Jens/Jeb is still lead designer.

I'm so glad we had such a positive subject topic to bring up this week old news piece. I have half a mind to change it myself.

They've been talking about it for at least 2-3 weeks. And this topic ended up in my spam folder because of its name. I'm changing it.

What I fear Microsoft may do Is become greedy and start making changes for the worst. Also for a great many games you will get sued If you make a mod. I also fear that will change so that you may longer legally distribute mods.

If Microsoft does that, they've just blown $2.5b

Jeb and co are still developing the game, community interaction is still paramount. All I see from this currently is a speedier release of the official API.

Let's just hope the past doesn't repeat itself, I don't think a company could ever go to shit as bad as Rare did though.

You guys are overreacting, there are positives to almost everything. Most of you are pessimists, you always expect the worst. What is the worst that can actually happen?

Lol I have high hopes, but some theories include

Minecraft 2: free to play, pay for access to certain blocks (sponge, bedrock, commandblocks)

Circles (nuff said)

Shut down any modders in favor of a paid mod/plugin platform (basically everything people feared with ModAPI)

there's really no need for them to add on extra things to make money with since Minecraft probably brings in dump truck loads of money everyday as is..
