Microsoft says that it will have recovered the 2.5 billion dollars paid for mojang. I ask you how? Minecraft sales to date dont come near that, all the way from beta. The only way I can see them recovering 2.5 billion dollars is by making you pay for minecraft again. And again. And again, in the form of forcing you to have an xbox live account. This is the worst thing anyone could ever do to the minecraft community. A community, I remind you, that has been absolutely pivotal in bringing minecraft up from its crude alpha form to what it is now. Remember when notch said that when he had had enough of being in charge, that he would finally make minecraft open source?
screw you, community.
screw you, devs.
screw you, gamers.
Its the money. Always the money.
