Microsoft is buying Mojang

[ApolloMew]

Ugh, why did Mojang have to sell to Microsoft. Everything is changing

[ApolloMew]

I still have strong doubts about it, Think about what Microsoft has done wrong in the past. If they hadn't messed up a lot, I would be hype for this.

They are keeping most of the mojang team, so I doubt anything would change to far from mojangs vision. If anything, Microsoft would be opening up more doors to possibilities with their resources and the mojang team. I personally see a bright future, or at least hope for one

I'm not sure about this, but i heard that Notch is no longer on the team for Minecraft... is this true? I hope not! D:

Notch did choose to leave Mojang when this happened, yes. That's actually how Microsoft bought it, Notch and two other high-profile people in Mojang were wanting to leave the company, and Microsoft offered them that money for their "share" of the company once they left.

However, Notch has not worked on Minecraft itself in many years. Not too long after Jeb was made project leader for Minecraft, Notch started working on other games for the company. So the core Minecraft developers were not changed at all when the acquisition happened, and even today, many months after all of this originally happened, the same people are all still working on Minecraft.

while microsoft may be known for ruining many great game companies which they have purchased over the years (such as the company Rare)  they have had plenty of time to learn from their mistakes.

if anything, it is my belief that Microsoft will eventually release a minecraft 2, that way they keep the success of minecraft secured, but also open themselves to make more money from a new title.
