    I wonder if the EULA will change if this goes through.

    I'm not saying that they are the best provider, there's far better, but I personally like them

    Yea, for an old time fan it'd be hard to like Nuts and Bolts, but as someone who grew up without a nintendo system aside from handhelds, Nuts and Bolts was alright. It gave a lot of what felt like a classic area and presented you with numerous ways to handle situations. It seemed more like it was targeted at a younger, newer audience than those who grew up with banjo.

    On topic, if Microsoft does get ahold of Mojang, I would severely hope they don't do much to Mojang, but rather just kind of steer them in the direction they want to go in. Also, it'd be nice if they took 4J off the console project as they're quite slow for updates. Yea I get that there's a lot of platforms, but serious they could have had horses in the the PS4 and X1 additions already...

    So it's not a game for you then. I don't like almost any racing game, but Nuts and Bolts had more to do than just racing (though racing did come up a lot... like... a lot a lot...). I certainly wont play it again, ever, but it was a decent game to rent for a week.

    A lot of you guys are acting like this buy out is designed to make Microsoft reign things in. We don't know their plans but I can promise it's designed to MAKE money, not to lose it. Many subsidiary companies exist in this manner and Mojang will still be able to do it's thing, the end profit just goes to Microsoft. I doubt they'd take the game off the market for other OS's and for the other platforms, that's a loss of consumer base and a loss of money.

    Be ready guys, The dev team hasn't been stated as changing so Jeb will still run that side as far as we know. But Microsoft CAN boost Mojang's staff, making the game update faster adding other game's to Mojang's market of existing titles.

    I'm not saying they won't goof, but I doubt they will make a shot to lose a player base for the game.

    I would put a disagree rating but it's your opinion so I won't.

    EA are the biggest money w****s ever. FIFA for example. I have no idea why my friends buy it every year when they are pretty much the same every year and you have to pay £50 each year. I used to play FIFA 07 which was good but then came ultimate team. This was the year that made me stop buying FIFA. Yes you pay £50 at first but then players buy packs and more packs.... Then more packs.
    When they brought out legend cards. My friends were like 'Woah! EA are actually doing something!'. Yep... Getting you to give them more money. You will buy more packs and more packs to be able to get those players.

    Along with the origin sign ins and the annoying customer services, EA and I don't get along.

    Back to the subject. I don't think this will be a good move for Minecraft. Yes Microsoft is better than EA, but I feel as if this will mean we will be paying to be able to gain access to servers. Maybe we will have to pay each time we will have to change our skin. All these promises made when we bought the game, the fact we could join servers with full version, change skins, everything is included. These promises will be broken, now we will be paying just to play this game we have played for months and years,

    If anything changes to drastically when Microsoft take over, it's over for me. I nearly quit when the Eula was reinforced, but this will be the end.
