I would say that the pivotal question here is that of future content management and monetization. Read more

Despite not being a fan of Mojang and Minecraft, I'm saddened by this news. Even though the FAQ and PR make it sound all rosy, Mojang will definitely not be the same in the future and it will eventually cease to exist as a unit...as most Microsoft acquisitions have shown in the past. It all depends on how far the… Read more

Notch just got himself a LOT of money. AND he gets to wash his hands and leave. Read more

Well, it happened. And i still don't get why. Or why we as potential minecraft consumers should or would care. Your minecraft version does not go away regardless of what Microsoft does to Minecraft, as long as you don't "update" your game, to their possible future newest Microsoft-influenced version, you won't really… Read more

So the question is, why?

Minecraft is immensely popular, but it's going to reach a point where nobody will be buying Minecraft, mainly because everyone will already own Minecraft.

Well, that probably puts the nail in the coffin regarding a WiiU version of Minecraft.

The founders: Notch, Carl, and Jakob are leaving. We don't know what they're planning. It won't be Minecraft-related but it will probably be cool. Read more

That seems like a lot of fucking money to pay just for Mojang. Read more

Still not sure I understand why, really. I've heard speculation that it is to promote Windows Phone as well as Xbone with an exclusive "Minecraft 2", but I can't see many kids (their target audience) absolutely needing a Minecraft 2 when Minecraft 1 sold so much with such mediocre graphics... Obviously, they'd get… Read more

I wonder what Zachary Barth from Infiniminer will see from this, if Notch has any dignity left in him he shouldn't be forgetting the one who made it all possible in the first place. Read more

I guess we can officially give up hope for a mod API now? Read more

Interesting. If Microsoft is smart (and their handling of the Xbox One launch begs to differ) then they will leave their golden goose, Minecraft, well enough alone and continue to let people mod it as they see fit, at least on PC. Read more

Please just let the Vita Minecraft come out... Read more

Damn... Notch just turned from a 200 millionaire (1.5 billion SEK) to a billionaire overnight. Read more

From the press release: "Microsoft plans to continue to make "Minecraft" available across all the platforms on which it is available today: PC, iOS, Android, Xbox and PlayStation." Read more

So......what does this mean for future support for the non-Microsoft Minecraft ports? Read more

Want! I'd import one of these babies but Nintendo is still using their stone-age region locking on their handhelds. Read more

But don't you step on my blue suede Kyogre. Read more

The only question is when will it come outside of japan. When! I need my fix dammit! Read more
