2.5 bln. Can you imagine?

Hope they are beyond the old business model, that would make minecraft into a windows phone/xbox exclusive.

Last nerdgasming rage post in this thread:

I bet that M$ will churn out some kind of crap or crappy update or 2.0 and make Mojangs entire profit of the last 4 yrs + the 2.5 billion back just because it's a microsoft product on the microsoft land.

== dumb move for notch lol

There was a lot that could have been done with the game/game theory behind Minecraft. A lot. Some young kid with Carmaks talent could have really done a lot. (obviously Carmak would have been a bad choice because he's already rich and a prima donna)

I don't care about the game. Never played it nor do I intend to. Good for him though. Don't knock people taking advantage of beautiful capitalism.

New tip. Make an awesome game. Skip a version for windows phone. Chaching!

There is nothing really beutiful about capitalism from my perspective. It is simply what it is and just an expression of one of the darker sides of human nature.

[Azure]

Just for example, what is beutiful about one human owning more than another human. Abstract that one more level. If there's a bunch of monkeys and one monkey has all the bannanas and the other monkeys must use sex/money to get banannas, what is beutiful about that.

What, other than human nature gives one human the right to own more than another human or something over another human.

What idea was ever original.

And what do we stand to gain for supporting this system and Microsoft?

There are many beutiful and wonderful things that existed prior to capitalism, or socialism, because really. Capitalism is just socialism for the rich and privileged and entitled dynastic.

Welfare for the "owners" and "masters" and controllers and dictators.

Well I can answer one of those questions. So far violent physical force or might, and ancestry.

Glorious.
