    Yeah my husband mentioned it the other day, god knows how he found out as he doesn't follow anything to do with gaming lol, my daughter thought he was joking and had made it up.

    It'll be interesting to see what happens to minecraft in the future, but from what I've read so far most people seem to be annoyed/disappointed about it.

    So Micro$oft buy and kill another company.

    I'm a PC Minecraft player, I'm actually an Alpha buyer and one of the benefits of signing up to the Alpha was that all updates would be free. I guess that's gone now..

    Also I find it rather ironic that Notch sells out to M$ after all the digs and moaning he did at them over Win 8, XBONE etc etc.

    Very disappointed :mad:

    I don't see how Microsoft breaks even on the deal in one year. How??? That sounds completely insane.

    Crazy tbh, how hard would it be to spend a quarter of that and produce something superior.

    I'm not disappointed at all. He made a decision and with all the hours I put into the game, I don't regret the purchase at all, even if things do change.

    Also, I'm curious to see how much of this he donates. He pretty much donates thousands to every charity he sees anyways.

    I don't think there's anyone in these forums that wouldn't sell for 2.5 billion

    Why do you want to contact him ? You seriously think people will have his personal email and even if someone did list it on a forum publically ? Come on !
