Yes guys, it's confirmed. (https://mojang.com/2014/09/yes-were-being-bought-by-microsoft/)
Mojang is being bought by Microsoft. I know it is the WORST thing that could happen to Minecraft, but the deal is real.
Also, Notch (YES, THE CREATOR OF THE GAME, BACK IN 2009), Carl and Jakon (THE OTHER TWO FOUNDERS) are actually... ahem... leaving. It is truly hard to believe such a hard thing has happened, however that is the truth.
I don't want to cause any drama, but I can already tell most of the Minecrafters in here are also sad because of this change.
Owen and Lydia say that it is going to be OK, but I do not think so (to be honest) after we've seen what Microsoft has done with other games bought by them (more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Studios ).
I'm pretty sure they will add stuff like:
-Monthly Payed Membership (like CP)
-Connect with your Microsoft account to access
-Always be online to play
-Pay to make servers (not realms or hosted, those home-made servers with minecraft-server.jar and/or even Hosted LAN)
-Pay to get update
-Pay for skins (yes, I did just say that)
-Pay for new layout skins (1.8 )
And more....
Yes, they may not actually (hopefully) happen, but we don't know what to believe. (I mean, it's Microsoft, right?)
And also, I hope they don't do the same thing that they do with Windows in Minecraft as well. (I mean: One version is awesome, the following one is 'bad')
So what do you think about this?
I personally think it's the WORST THING YOU COULD EVER IMAGINE.
But, it may only be 99.(9)% of the Minecrafter's and Mojangster's (because, if you didn't know Mojang has some other great games too) thought.
Quick Note: Look what Microsoft claimed about itself in the post about buying Minecraft:
Such liars!
