While browsing the mojang support center looking for a answer to something i stumbled over this thread https://help.mojang.com/customer/portal/articles/600767-purchases-made-during-alpha And in this thread it says Alpha accounts get Free updates and such and Beta and newer Accounts wont have that. Now they havnt made us pay for updates yet But it bugs me that i may have to pay for core updates... So im wondering Will they actually make us pay for say 1.7?
No they won't, core updates will always be free. That WOULD have been for more DLC kind of things, but now that the Mod API is being made it's been pretty much scrapped.
OH! I just think i figured out what they meant by it. The minecraft realms will cost money so thats what they mean maybe?
No, not that at all. Minecraft Realms will be a hosting service, and if they gave that to all alpha and earlier accounts for free permanently it would probably bankrupt them. Besides, they made that statement when in Alpha. That was before they even THOUGHT of realms probably.

Yeah... This was probably a ploy to help get the game started way back when, but now mojang is so rich (monetarily) and morally just, I don't think they would include any type DLC or micro-transactions into the game ever. They don't need the money and that could be bad for them now, because it would be off-putting to casual players and players who can't/ don't want to spend extra money on a game.
But, they still could; you never know.

Quote or reply my post if you expect a response, thanks!
are you referring to Minecraft Realms? Because that will cost money to rent a server, just like any other server hosting business. Mojang wants to get in on all the money hosting services have been getting

I'm going to start a new season to my old Hardcore Survival Island series on youtube since my friend and I recently got back to playing Minecraft a bit. If you want to join us and we can depend on you to be able to join us in the server I set up at the right times then feel free to message me.
If Minecraft made us pay for every single update, it wouldn't be even close to being this popular. The updates were always free, which means it will most likely be remain like that.

They will NOT cost money anytime soon.
