Yes, they paid 2 billion dollars for a game just to make major detrimental changes and get rid of its popularity and player base. I think this might turn out well.

Question: Will Mojang be making more snapshots, or will Microsoft take care of that?

There will most likely be no more updates to the game.

Actually, as far as everyone's been informed, the majority of the Mojang team will continue to work on Minecraft with the exception of its 3 founders. Jens/Jeb is still lead designer.

I'm so glad we had such a positive subject topic to bring up this week old news piece. I have half a mind to change it myself.

They've been talking about it for at least 2-3 weeks. And this topic ended up in my spam folder because of its name. I'm changing it.

What I fear Microsoft may do Is become greedy and start making changes for the worst. Also for a great many games you will get sued If you make a mod. I also fear that will change so that you may longer legally distribute mods.

If Microsoft does that, they've just blown $2.5b

Jeb and co are still developing the game, community interaction is still paramount. All I see from this currently is a speedier release of the official API.

Let's just hope the past doesn't repeat itself, I don't think a company could ever go to shit as bad as Rare did though.
