Well, you're constantly keeping a game up to date. Patches, and working on multiple ports, and its already up the hill enough. The basis has been established. I bet it'd feel like beating a dead horse. Now he can create other things. And he's already got the success and fame, why not walk out with more money than any of us will touch? I don't view it as a sellout as some may rage. Minecraft isn't going to change or adapt under its creator. Now under new authority it'll evolve. [i]for better or worse.[/i] But I don't understand Microsofts move. Seems wrong to me. But I'm sure they have plans. Better or [i]worse..[/i] Isn't Notch usually buttmad about large companies? From his previous opinions on similar matters he sounds like a hypocrite or is selling out. Idk tho. Reeeeally wish that money went to [b]developing[/b] games. That much money could help some serious world problems. But, this is gaming. Should have spent that on helping numerous great games or at least make a damn new series. Maybe fix your consoles hrrmmm?

Can't say I blame notch, 2.5 billion dollars is a stupidly crazy amount of money; especially for a game like minecraft.

Well Microsoft said they will keep running on all platforms but I can see Xbox getting updates first

Markus Persson selling Mojang is about as much of a no-brainer as a no-brainer can get. Great for him! For Microsoft, it is a little bit more of a head-scratcher. There is a theory that Natella wants to transform all of Microsoft's gaming assets into software and cloud-centric services, including the Xbox Division. He is fairly obsessed with mobile. I do not know what that means for the.console business.

He said he wants to basically move on and do more than sustain a massive money making machine which is fair enough . I guess the reasoning here is that Minecraft was a one hit wonder and anything he makes after this wont ever be big as Minecraft . I mean I doubt he ever intended it to get super big . So he sells Mojang to MS knowing they cant out do Minecraft takes his share and leaves . I would have done the same . In terms of "its not about the money" , he was probably loaded anyway so it wont make too much of a difference really , will it ? The only thing that annoys me is that he was dissapointed at Oculus for being bought out by FB and know he sells his mney maker to MS . bit hypocritical ?

Sorry about English, second language.
