So, Notch the bastard sold of Minecraft and his whole company to the devil a.k.a Microsoft. Of course, nobody wants to work for the devil, so Notch and others are leaving Mojang. http://news.xbox.com/2014/09/games-minecraft-to-join-microsoft http://notch.net/2014/09/im-leaving-mojang/ Rumours are saying that MS will replace the Modern UI in Windows with a Minecraft interface where you have to dig yourself to commands. Minecraft will be available on multiple platforms for now, but nobody knows for how long.... Nerdrage? y/n
"I didn't have the connection to my fans I thought I had" You stepped down from lead development and became a reclusive. You complain about people giving you attention yet you start shit on twitter at a drop of a fedora. And to a final nail into the coffin. Watch them monetize the hell out of it. Hes a text book basement dweller, he can't handle the attention of more than a few handful of people at a time. Here is a 38 minute video basically discussing how retarded he is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdAJrNKK8Vk I don't even give a shit about minecraft, and I say he is retarded for giving Microsoft another cash cow.
This is just like the facebook acquisition of Occulus, or the Disney acquisition of Lucas Films, nothing will fucking change, they're just company names.
Saved me the trouble. Hopefully this means notch is making something new and sold it to keep it in development. Of all the companies that could afford Minecraft, Microsoft was a pretty damn good choice.
Well there is a problem,if microsoft has minecraft mac support will end and there will only be versions of minecraft for windows and xboxes.
Oh no, its truly the death of gaming right here. Mobile game devs i'd reckon, but you shoulve said it like this:
No, just developers. Then maliciously murder their games so nobody looks at them again. Lionhead Studios Black Tusk Studios Rare Ltd. Twisted Pixel Games Ensemble Studios Artoon Digital Anvil Hudson Soft Silicon Knights Realtime Worlds Almost as bad as EA's graveyard, but their graveyard had better titles.
That statement is logically wrong unless Microsoft made a new game from the ground up in a program language that isn't Java. It's also statistically wrong since Microsoft develops its Office suite for Mac. Furthermore, it's buisnessly irrational since that would just be losing customers/potential customers if they drop support for Unix operating systems.
what if microsoft are doing it to get the inside knowhow on how java works so they can destroy it from the inside
Answering Java with C# is like responding to Nazis by introducing the Klan. I don't know how that analogy works, but it makes sense to me.
