Personally, I think it's great. Out of the hands of Mojang, who barely knew what they were doing in the first place.

I don't care. I think the decision was mostly pointless.

Minecraft's heyday has long been over with. Microsoft's sure as fuck not gonna make any returns.

Wonder how long it will be until Minecraft is Xbox exclusive :P

Honestly, minecraft doesn't seem like its worth billions of dollars. Everyone already has it, I don't know how they'll make more money off it. It's not exactly in its prime.

Mmm I'm torn on it.

I feel the game can have some nice fancy features with with the bigger budget.

However if Notch leaves like I heard it will lose that little bit of character and quality that it had.

It'd be like Jason Jones leaving Bungie.

Notch was an idiot and didn't do shit for the game. Fuck, none of the people that really made the game what it is today are actually leaving. Notch in particular took more vacation days than he did working days and his two failed projects prove that he can't do anything other than rip off other games.

Under MS maybe Mojang can get some real leadership so the few talented people that do work there can really make something great.

You have to remember that Not h didn't expect Minecraft to become this famous. He just made a very rough version in his free time, he probably didn't expect more than twenty people to try it and then forget about it in a week. He didn't try to become famous. He's just a normal guy.

Here's hoping that Micro$oft doesn't add "DLC" and other crap to the game to make their money back. I wouldn't be surprised if you have to pay for further updates.

That is a fuckton of money...

I am fine with them buying it as long as they keep the game what it is and do not try to fuck it up.

They're going to turn it into a FPS

As long as it still gets updates for the Playstation, I'm sure Microsoft can put aside their competition for one game and work out a deal. I hate what this generation is turning into with M$ and $ony grabbing to make new games exclusives.

And hey, they better make a fucking Fallout skin pack for xbone/360. You don't know how bad Id love to see a MC New Vegas or Megaton.

I'm fine with it.  Hopefully the next Minecraft iteration will use code that doesn't run like complete ass.

If they don't fuck it up with DLC, modding restrictions, microtransactions, making skin packs cost money, locking it down with DRM and the other typical MS bullcrap, then I'm happy <.<

Minecraft on consoles is already pretty fucked up, microtransactions and DLC in the form of Skin Packs, and there's no mod support at all on consoles.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
I dont like it.

That's what I'm worried about :l

If they start bringing that shit into the PC version... fucking hell ._.

So making the overall experience more immersive isn't "playing games properly"? If we didn't have mods, games like Counter Strike wouldn't exist for example.


Graphics mods make games so much better. Take GTA San Andreas:





Is this going against R* intent? I've seen indie games where you get achievements for using a mod.

You're not making it more immersive. If you think it's more immersive, then you're REALLY not playing the game properly.

Mods by their very nature kill immersion. They break the game's lore (there is no such thing as a lore-friendly mod), and when the lore is broken, the immersion is broken. You're not playing the game anymore; you're playing a ruined parody of the game. Your own shitty version of the game.

...I fucking hate FPS games, so I can certainly live without CounterStrike. Besides, if you're making a whole new game through modification, that's a different story.

Graphic mods break the lore. That's not how the game was designed. Play it right. "Intent" was perhaps not the proper word. If Rockstar wanted the graphics to be better, then they should have made the graphics better.

90% of indie games are shitty and 99% of all indie game developers are idiots, so I don't give a fuck about indie games.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
Microsoft will keep it on PS. They won't cut off a large source of income, millions will buy it on PS.

We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty
and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
"Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.."
I suppose we all thought that one way or another.
