I bought minecraft 1-2 weeks before 1.0.0..I was scrolling around the fourms and i heard something about Beta buyers have to PAY for further updates? and alpha buyers get updates free forever...Is this true? or is this just a rumor? :unsure.gif:

EDIT:What i mean is after 1.0.0 you have to pay for further updates

Its fake. Obviously.

not true just a rumour i bought in beta

rumor

There was a topic full of people saying this...

I haven't heard anything about that.

Its a rumor i bought it at Beta 1.5 and i haven't payed for a single update.

No what i meant is after 1.0.0 you have to pay for further updates

It was rumored when beta first came out. not now.

Nope still a rumor

Thanks everyone! I was kinda worried when i saw this Oh crap did i just give notch an idea? o.o

Uhh, correct me if I'm wrong, but I distinctly remember Notch saying Alpha buyers getting minecraft free for life, and beta buyers not.

There were a LOT of topics about this a little while back that said this.

If you look on the site it says "The game is yours" So if you had to pay for future updates it wouldnt really be "Yours" :tongue.gif:

Hopefully he changed his mind :biggrin.gif:

RUMOR

Alpha customers receive every new update for free. Beta buyers are only set for obtaining the full release, after this they must pay for updates. At least that is what Notch said. I would assume that bug fixes are going to be free to beta buyers however any big content releases will likely cost a bit of money for both Beta and full release buyers

I tried looking for the page that said this, however it has been removed. This is however what Notch stated a long time ago, unless he has changed his mind it should be what i said above.

Most stuff on the main site is really outdated.

I'm still adamant that beta buyers will need to pay, unless Notch decided that he didn't like the idea and hasn't told us.

If notch decides to do this,We must try to convince Notch to change his mind :/

EDIT:This is dissapointing to Beta buyers (Including me :tongue.gif:)

Hate to break it to you, but nobody really cares. Luckily for you, these expansions will actually be big, and worth their (cheap) price tag. You get bug fixes free as well.
