I'm sure buying Mojang is just the kind of initiative Windows Phone requires to succeed. Microsoft are masterful tacticians!

i hope notch isn't even a part of the microsoft owned mojang. reading between the lines in a lot of the news it sounds like he just wants to get rid of mojang and minecraft so he can move on with his life. apparently he is the one who went to microsoft to see if they wanted to buy it and all the rumors say he wouldn't be a part of the new company that's just going to be extra LOL to the minecraft community. notch literally selling out the company and throwing it under a bus. a bus driven by microsoft (so it's swerving and smashing all the other cars off the road)

And then when you get bored you can build a stack of TNT and go blow up your friends buildings because you are 9 years old and still a sociopath.
