Seems like Microsoft is looking to buy Mojang for 2 billion. Great, more money for notch to swim in.

So, uh...this is happening, maybe. I'm kind of uneasy about this, but I don't have any solid reason to.

If Microsoft buys them maybe windows phone will get minecraft? Or Minecraft becomes a PC and Xbox exclusive.

If this happens it'll be a HUGE waste for Microsoft.

What, like, five years too late?

I think he means they no longer get updates after the sale. Possible, but would be asstarded.

Or similar to Outrun where it's eventually taken off the store, and only those that previously purchased it can re download it.

The thing is, Marcuss already said he won't stick around. But even if he did, what are the realistic chances that Mojang are gonna release anything worth of that 2 billion price tag? They literally just bought the Minecraft name and nothing else.

My biggest concern is how Microsoft will handle all the streamers and servers that run all their Minecraft content on Youtube/Twitch/etc. Hell, I've made Minecraft videos. I don't know if I'll be able to do that if this deal goes through.

I'm still looking for solid proof of this rumour. All I'm getting is a bunch of news sites reporting what OTHER news sites said, which in turn report what OTHER news sites said. And the furthest I can get back is Bloomberg saying " A SOURCE CLOSE TO MOJANG" and that's it. That tells me fucking nothing. That's like saying "Oh my dad's brother works at Nintendo and HE said that HE knows Shigeru Miyamoto personally and HE said that there's totally a secret way to see Zelda Naked in this game like in high res too not just pixels"

Well it's official.

Seems a massive amount of money but Minecraft is the Pokemon of this generation.

Interesting to see what Notch had to say too, link to his blog post here.

Regardless of his leave from the company, I am sure he gotten a big fat check for selling Mojang.

If anyone annoyed about this can look me in the eye and say they wouldn't sell out for $2.5 BILLION then they are a liar.

The only annoyance I hope I'm wrong about is how MS is gonna (hopefully not) screw over the PS3 users by denying them patches or extra content. Or make the PC version not be able to use fan made stuff.
