Notch was always clearly "sensitive" and it has shown over the years.

He absolutely hated being beholden to the community. I can sort of understand, in that it was a game he worked on and then got bored of, but everyone else discovered it and it ended up trapping him. He's the Susan Boyle of computer games.

I'm really curious what Microsoft is planning to do with Minecraft. I expect the purchase to backfire on them because the Minecraft playerbase is autismal and got really mad over dimension changes for the nether portal.

Also let's turn things up a notch and rent the MC thread.

But I already see lovely foam 'diamond pickaxes' and the kids book area of my local Barnes and Nobel has like, an entire large display of Minecraft books (hey parents, if your kid buys 'a guide to using redstone' at a bookstore above any other child books, they have autism) and poo poo. I have a keychain with a lovely little block pig on it. They already merchandise the poo poo out of this game, which is what makes the "OH GOD MICROSOFT WILL TAKE OVER AND MAKE IT A COMMODITY" bullshit even funnier.

idk it depends really, microsoft could go full forza 5, change the codebase away from java without adding a modding api to kill off modding and then start adding lovely dlc so that i.e for $6.99 you add aluminum to worldgen or some poo poo like that

or they could realize that the game makes money as-is and mostly leave it alone

or they abandon it and exercise the name to make a minecraft 2 for $40 that's bone-exclusive

also since they bought mojang, not just minecraft, they could fart out some games and include "created by mojang, the guys who made minecraft!!" as a tagline
