    It was brewing for a while, but now it official Mojang sold out to Microsoft. On the plus side it might mean that they finally start selling Minecraft on Steam. On the minus side we can kiss the Linux version goodbye as soon as they recode it to c++ and drop Opengl.

    Eh, I think they will leave it alone for then most part.

    Minecraft is part recruiting tool, part getting kids to think of MS as a “cool” company to work for in the future.

    Yeah they would so then it wouldn’t run in Linux no matter how we tried……..Mono may be a replacement but not a replica……

    Venn is right the non hipest group in the world just bought the hipest game in the world……. Look at the age range that plays with Minecraft… somewhere from 5+ to 60+ in age ………

    That just means that Bukkit somehow got to microsoft………they have been trying to work closely with Mojang to create a plugable mod system that wouldn’t break after every update.

    Oh I found the reason https://storify.com/lukegb/the-tale-of- … ecraft-1-8 . It does belong to Mojang. So Mojang has taken Possesion of Bukkit of which they had bought over 2 years ago. Gonna be interesting to see if it get’s put back out to the community to keep it developing or just bring it in house and add it to the mainstream code.
