Microsoft is buying Mojang
Kealper:
Changes to the way the game client handles blocks and displaying the game world is partially what took a big chunk of time.
More developers doesn't always mean faster development times, however... Microsoft does have practically infinite resources to throw at Minecraft should they wish to. Overall, I think this will end up improving things.

In my opinion we shouldn't be mad because of how much notch and mojang has done. I know if I had that position I would be very stressed and busy. I'm excited to see what ideas Microsoft has.

I dont think its a good or bad thing for MC.
I DO wonder about the fact 2.5 billion, how is this gonne pay back for Microsoft? After all, they wont invest this money into it of they only lose money on it.
My guess will be that the main chunk will be earned back with merchandise and the MC movie and such, but i wonder of it will be enough to justify the investment microsoft did.
I really really hope they are not going to release DLC packs in the future that require micro-payments.
But for now its only speculation, i guess its best to just wait and see what will happen :)
LightBulbasaur:
Well, I think that minecraft will be fine. 2.5Billion dollars?? No company would waste that much money to ruin a game, its to risky. Plus minecraft is on the top list of games across many platforms. (This isn't 100% true) But some people think Microsoft wanted mojang because the technology behind it was one of the best there is :o
mathfreak2:
Mojang has already made hundreds of millions of dollars off of Minecraft. If Minecraft continues to grow at its current pace, it would not surprise me if Microsoft earned its money back in less than 5 years.
