Yeah, possibly as soon as the end of the year, but more likely early 2015.

NO SOONER THAN THAT!

#282,

It isn't directly based off of DOS, but it uses a lot of the tech DOS used.

Please... not another Rare...

Now when did I ever say they intended to only make millions, or anything about making any specific amount of money from such a deal? In fact it would only make sense that they would hope to make money from it, more than they're putting into it obviously. But yeah, I'm totally naive and whatnot for saying absolutely nothing before about how much money they wished to make from the deal.

If Microsoft buys MC It'll 1 make MC worse and 2 I'll never play MC again I'm mad

Even now, I dont want to play mc, hope Mojang will not accept the deal, everything will be past

Ableit, they have refused purchases of Minecraft before... But 2 billion dollars?! If Mojang follows through with this, I expect a few things to happen:

1. Playstation Editions of Minecraft will be closed down.

2. Microtransactions will be added, one way or another.

3. The Modding community will most likely be eradicated.

4. The Community itself will be ignored.

And worst of all?

5. Mojang will CRASH AND BURN.

Be become Kinect Slaves.

This would do more bad than good. The Bad is this is going to fracture the community than what it already is, Microsoft never seems to like MODS unless they pay to put them on for a premium(So say goodbye to Most/all Mods and don't forget texture packs and custom resource packs on PC, especially the ones with sound.), Too many force push ads. The only thing I see Microsoft doing any good to have people support Minecraft is make it close to bug-free and rewrite it in DirectX (I seen some people demand this), unless they are lazy and don't care as long as the customer "will" pay for it no matter what.

DirectX would be another bad thing, since it'll kill cross-platform support.

I would like to thank Mojang for all the good times I have had with my family. I would think that Minecraft has touched more people in a positive way than anything else.

I am hoping that this will not happen because Notch has proven that the actions that have been taken are not about money and hope that this has not changed. I know the money is hard to turn down, but it will show us all that it is still not about the money if this does not happen.

If it is about money, then give us a way to show our support for not letting this happen. What about a kickstarter for 2.1B dollars. I think a great reward for donating would be to not have this become "MS Minecraft and the valley of lost creations"

Either way thank you Notch for starting this and to the team at Mojang for all the work that has gone into making Minecraft great.

NOO!!! DONT LET THEM!!

NO!!!!!!!

Microsoft sucks at games

Please no. I'm not a big fan of Microsoft. XP

I hope that Mojang has enough integrity and is dedicated enough to decline this deal. None of us, the fans (the people who make Minecraft what it is), want this and we all feel that MS will take Minecraft in the wrong direction. I can almost guarantee that if this goes through the game will be abandoned shortly after and all development will be focused on "MINECRAFT 2: THE NEW GENERATION OF FIRST PERSON SHOOTER" in order to milk the cash cow again.

I, for one, welcome our new Microsoft overlords.

I think if nothing else, we may get some organization as it pertains to mods, server software and the elusive mod api.
