    Many of you probably have heard that this Monday, Microsoft finally bought Minecraft.
    At first I was upset I finally got better. But I read 2 articles that changed my mind and Minecraft could become Microcraft. There are 2 new rules so far that I know.
    The 1st is: No posting Minecraft content on a website that pays you for that (youtube).
    Which is bad for many youtubers including CaptainSparklez, Stampylongnose and iballisticsquid.
    Why; because all they do is sit and play minecraft and earn Money. So now they need to find a job.
    The 2nd is: No adding any features that are not already in the game in other words, Mods.
    Why is this bad; servers with mods that are popular will go down.

    To me right now "Microsoft buying Minecraft" feels like "Devil buying Minecraft".

    Gamers have their own concerns. "What kind of community does Microsoft develop? None. Microsoft does not have a solid community that works together. Microsoft literally bought a community, one which they've never dealt with or had before," Minecraft player "BebopVox" said in his latest "Minecraft Monday" YouTube show. (His channel has over 560,000 subscribers.) "You don't see people creating 'Microsoft Monday' shows, do you? No, because that would be lame as hell," he says.

    Captain Sparklez, another big-name gamer with 8 million YouTube subscribers, has tweeted concerns about Microsoft's terms of use, which say that players cannot earn money from posting game videos on YouTube. "I sincerely hope Microsoft recognizes the value of the YouTube community and that they don't plan on tampering with it," he says.

    The company has bought a slew of gaming companies since 1999. In 2001, Microsoft acquiredEnsemble Studios, which made a popular strategy game called Age of Empires. Microsoft launched an online version of the game in 2011, but couldn't make it profitable and shut it down after less than three years. (The game's former employees didn't blame Microsoft.) In 2002, Microsoft acquired Rare, which gamers complained has dwindled in the years since, resulting in lay-offs at Rare this year. Because of this history, there is a sense among gamers that "Microsoft has a habit of buying companies and running them into the ground,"

    So Thanks so muck Mircrosoft for ruining Minecraft. :D

    And sometimes I think we should worry less and enjoy the time we have left instead of panicking.
