[Minecraft] Yes, we're being bought by Microsoft $2B

i bet Rolf of wurm online wakes up every morning hating himself for letting notch walk out the door

I remember seeing this years ago for the first time, when I saw my friends brother playing it. I went to her brother 'what the heck is this shit? It look's like it came from the 90s' he answered 'This is really popular, it is like digital Lego'....

Since then I've seen it played by a co-workers younger daughter and almost every other child (where the parents play video games) between the age of 4 and 16...

I wonder what this will mean in regards to the ability to host servers (in terms of who can + the type of access), skins, and other modifications.

I was pretty sure that there were way more rumors originally that the minecraft code was going to be made public and open source, under a GNU or MIT liscence in the event of notch ever getting tired of it


I guess it made too much money and he had too much hookers and blow freely available in sweden

People who create have an individual responsibility to ensure that their ability and the ability of their peers to create openly and freely is not hindered.

Of all the people to try to tell someone else what to do with themselves.

There is a sublte difference between being critical and telling people what to think, giving them your opinion.

And telling them they are worthless faggots for doing XYZ.

I didn't even call Notch or Mojang any names. In fact I went out of my way to say that they were not even obligated. Just that I feel that the way this rolled is morally gray. Personally.

I did call M$ evil sacks of shit. But that is a fact and not me telling M$ NOT to be evil sacks of shit.

Sublte differences.

So let me rephrase this in terms that are a bit nicer. If I happened to be a famous game designer with a profiting game. I would not hand it over to M$ for any amount of blow and hookers.

Just 2 be clear, I don't think your stance is entirely wrong either Katrik. I just have to be a dick, cause u know M$... also yes, good job, I made a thread and a good # of double and triple posts whilst I could have been grinding levels in the economic newb yard.
