Whatever happens from here on out i hope you (Microsoft) understand that the openness of this game is what made it flourish. When you put so much freedom into the hands of the community they will flourish with creativity. What lies just beyond the game itself is where its heart is. From texture packs to mods, mini games to servers, videos to livestreams, 99% of this game is what the community made with it. Continue to give us that freedom in the future and all will be well between us :-)
Thank you xisumavoid for this nicely spoken comment which is passionate and touching, but still suspiciously critical of the situation. :) As much as I like to be convinced by what Phil Spencer said, the parable of the scorpion and the frog Luis Carvalho mentioned is true as well (look what MS did to Skype - ruin the whole idea of it: p2p communication). I hope Spencer meant what he said and that he has the ability - and competence within the company - to put it to practice.
these comments aged like milk lol, microsoft was the best thing that happened to mojang, they kept giving funding to make all these amazing free updates, thank you phil
In all fairness Mojang could've gone on without Microsoft. They likely would've still sold just as well and we probably wouldn't have gotten the microtransaction version of the game. That being said you can never go wrong with Microsoft funding your game indefinitely.
Phil Spencer you're the best thing that happened to Microsoft and thank you for taking what was broken and fixing it I love my xbox again because of you
Awesome. Microsoft is an amazing company, I can see this being very positive. I bet the developers are so happy. This is even more life changing than how successful the game already was.
What ever you do, be sure we watch every single move! If you ruin our game, we will make sure microsoft will pay for it forever. Be careful with our game. The community made this game to what it is, if you tread us right, you will get what you want, loyal cutomers for the future. All up to you;-) With that said, long live Minecraft and the community.
I'm just waiting for the first update to "accidentally" break Linux support, just like Skype, with a fix put on the backburner for a year until it's cancelled.
It'll start slowly, maybe a couple new lines on the EULA. Nothing much. Then some updates only available in Windows, maybe even only on 8.1. Then the lawyers will get in the game... and... well we all know how it will go. Right now, I can't convince myself to login on a Microsoft controlled server, been playing offline. My account is early Alpha. From the time we were assured to get all updates forever. I'm curious to see how long that will last. I have no businness interest in Minecraft. None at all. If I did, I would be looking for another way to make a living. FAST.
1. Platform restrictions 2. Monthly subscriptions 3. Pay to Win 4. Paid DLC 5. No modding These are just the first five off the top of my head. Minecraft 2 will have all of these, Mincraft 1 will have development wrap up shortly.
Anybody who thinks Microsoft will make Mojang ditch non Microsoft products is wrong. 2.5 billion is a lot of money. Ditching a platform will make you lose lots of money. Honestly, they probably bought them so the Windows phone can have it. I'm still waiting for an Ouya version.
I was quite worried about how this was going to turn out. But right now it's looking much better then I expected. I don't think they're really going to change that much with the game. It's probabaly just going to stay the same, and updates might start rolling out faster. Looking forward to see what you have in store for us Microsoft. :P Just don't mess it up! :)

For those who are saying RIP minecraft, you might be right. If Minecraft is aquired by Microsoft, that means goodbye OpenGL 2.1 and hello DirectX 11/12, that means it's going to be windows 7+ only. Everyone that uses Linux, OSX or win XP(yes alot of people do) can't play minecraft anymore.
I just hope they give help to 4J studios on updates, they really need it. I'm tired of waiting 6 months for a feature update. I'm not saying 4J do a bad job but there just isn't enough people working on it to catch up with PC.
yea weird.. they must have like 1 person working on it. Mojang has about 3 people developing Minecraft and that is including designing the features. How slow must 4J Studios be to not catch up
Microsoft, I'll have no issues with this acquisition as long as you keep Minecraft as open as it has been (multi-platform, free and open modding/server hosting, f2p, no paid DLC, etc). However, if you go against this, while attempting to draw a profit, we'll find a better alternative. TL;DR Respect the community-- the very reason Minecraft succeeded. Cheers.
I wouldnt say anything but microsoft have been working with mojang for a quite long time now so with microsoft funding the company, this is a good thing.
_"listening to the feedback of the Minecraft community"_ *Important note regarding MINECRAFT VANILLA*: I'd strongly recommend not to make it a sole "majority of percentage of MC community wants to have this or that feature into MC Vanilla, so let's do it"-thing. I don't want to polarize here, but there are a few thousand players that play MC for 4 years or more, and although we are small in number, I feel, as we grew so long with MC Vanilla and what that means, we know fairly well than the "younger" majority of MC players what can be considered "Vanilla". So please, before you add anything into MC Vanilla, take into account what MC Vanilla really meant. Involve the developers and let them have the final say. They know best what can be considered "Vanilla", and what not.
I totally agree with you on this! I don't want 10-year olds, for example, dictating what will be 'Vanilla Minecraft', or in which direction Minecraft will go, as a game in general. Now, if only Microsoft will realize that 'popular opinion' isn't always the way to go. Thanks for the post Meri!
Astrogirl1usa I didn't want to phrase it that harsh, but yeah, that's basically it. You know I'm not judging people by their age so I wouldn't say that all young or new players are like that ("I'd like to have all features inside MC Vanilla") , but as they wouldn't know about the effects it would have or the origins of Minecraft etc., they wouldn't see anything bad in it. As long as we can still mod Minecraft, anyone can have anything they like inside MC anyways.. But we really really need to be careful about what will be added to Minecraft Vanilla, always.
I have raised 3 kids, so I know what 10 year-olds are like. lol I also know that if they were dictating what to put in the game; it wouldn't be 'vanilla' anymore. I love kids, but they do think differently from adults. Most children would not even think about whether something actually fits, or belongs in the game. That's just how it is,,,
If M$ is nice enough to keep it cross platform all you guys who play Minecraft on other platforms should be happy. Most companies would just take this huge IP and make it exclusive to their consoles.
I think I can see what Microsoft is trying to do. Just recently Microsoft tried to acquire Twitch and now they successed in purchasing Mojang. Microsoft is on to something and I'm ready for whatever comes. So proud of the way they are changing.
So? What should we expect? DLC's fo $69,99? Live Gold required to play Online? Mandatory MS account? End of mods and modding? Minecraft 1.9 for Xbox ONE and Windows 8 only?
since you said you want changes to make minecraft better, make mods possible on the console and you'll have everyone sold pretty much. idk if its possible but DO IT
I can't wait to see what Mojang does with the extra money! I feel like each update has been lacking more and more, but I bet the bigger budget should help pick things back up. From a business standpoint, this is exactly what Mojang needed.
I think Minecraft will flourish. I am sure Microsoft will take in the communities feedback and suggestions to enhance the overall Minecraft experience. I think his will be a good change.
I hope your plan doesn't involve making us pay for every update, because that's how you kill the game. Not that I wouldn't pay, but minecraft is so great because so many people are able to stop playing, start again after months and just download the new update and get back into it. If you must, put an ad on the start screen or whatever but don't start charging for every update.
Well, I think I speak for almost all of us saying this: PLEASE keep minecraft style as it was! Exploring, crafting, building... Don't make stuff like jetpacks, cars or guns, that kind of thing is really different from Minecraft style! And don't forget the redstone! lots of people love redstone and want it as it is. Let the developers keep working like they did before, everyone liked that. Let C418 work on future projects, he is a big part of the Minecraft comunity. Don't make DLC's, or in-game purchasing, this was Mojang, not EA. And last, sorry All the comunity is worried about the future of their favourite game, i hope you see this. -FedexCraft
Fedex Craft Exactly. And as long as Minecraft can be _modded_, everyone can have any thing inside MC anyways }=) So let's hope they leave us this option as well.
Guys mojang was always with Microsoft so what different would it make if they brought it plus they're just selling mine craft through Microsoft so they mojang can still work on it
They keep supporting the PS version as well but we will probably see a lot more support for the Xbox version and a lot of Xbox and PC exclusive content.
I love the people who are like MINECRAFT Is GOING TO CHANGE guys its going to be the same its just a different company owns it but Notch is still in charge of the game
If Microsoft wants to buy mojang, that's fine. If they plan on making the game better for the community and actually listen to us for feedback that would be great. If they take one wrong step, and sometimes it can be only one wrong step, then it could spell disaster for the Minecraft community and Microsoft itself. Be careful Microsoft.
To all of you commenters: what have microsoft done to make you think everything is shutting down? What is it, I honestly dont know why you guys are worrying when you dont even know microsoft, No, I dont know anything about microsoft, but do you? Do you?
How about not messing with the TH-cam content, Microsoft? "But, enrolling in a TH-cam partner program (or similar programs) where you are entering into an agreement to get paid, is not allowed." Explain that to the GIANT (and still growing) TH-cam community that is part of the reason Minecraft became worth that $2.5 billion you paid for it.
Ok you might buy it, but are the same developers working on it or is it YOUR team? I hope it's the same because I don't trust you guys quite yet to make a *good* update.
Just remember guys this is a software company which has some hardware, i like xbox one and its great all the exclusive games which wouldnt happen without microsofts support. hopefully this will lead to better things like a sequel which most likely will be exclusive but still the original was big for a reason.
Why is everyone hating? He said it's still on all platforms. Also to the people who say Microsoft are not original and buy other companies, how do you think they got $80 billion? Of course they couldn't buy anything at the beginning
Translation of what he actually says: "Minecraft has become a phenomenon that we don't really understand but which made shitloads of money...which we at Microsoft love! So we partnered up with these nerds, that we normally wouldn't even look at, to keep making sure that money keeps rolling into out pockets!"
I hope this doesn't effect the development on Vita, I own the Xbox One edition so I'm not "fanboying", I just want that full Minecraft experience on the go!
Please make this game bigger and bigger microsoft !!! (and stay the mods support) Do better and enhanced gameplay more stuff to do more areas more items and alot alot more !!! improve the textures and everything... trust you microsoft !!! (owner of xbox one ,360 and windows 8.1)
Coming up next: Minecraft II. Xbox One Exlusive. PC support dropped completely. No Mod support. No Dedicated servers. Buy Gold Membership to get access to 3 custom skins and be able to build upto a maximum of 60 blocks in microsoft-hosted 4 player servers. Map Pack DLC released, including 5 maps from two different biomes. Several micro-transactions, like the in-game store, offers several useful items like cooked porkchops and diamond armor for reasonable prices starting from $1.99. Pre-order for $59.99 to get the Flaming Pumpkin-hat.
its good that Microsoft have acquired Mojang/Minecraft. as they said in the video, they aren't removing the experience from other platforms, and they are going to be updating it on all platforms as well. Phil Spencer is a nice guy, he has the same motive that we all share, gaming.
Mojang has always been a company very comfortable with their audience. You're talking to a bunch of assorted gamers sitting in front of screens, not men in suits. Stop standing at attention, stiffly, and reading a script. Talk to us like we're humans. Personally, I have a lot of hope for Microsoft and Minecraft, however you're presenting your company as an uptight business, which will hardly help your already negative reputation among the majority of Minecraft players. I hope that this message gets heards, whether from me or anywhere else.
Calm down people, do you really think Microsoft spent 2.5 bi just to mess up a game? Minecraft has one of the biggest communities, and they know the backlash they'll get if they make any kind of DLC or subscription fees, chill out guys, Microsoft know what it's doing.
Bad very bad they will put micro transactions. This will make them gain the money they spend on it. NO more free updates and you'll have to pay more for a decent experience!
***** they have a big enough budget as is, i mean 16 million copies sold, $30 each ? even if it was $1 each they would be filthy rich (they also said so themselves) So i think nothing good can come from this.
***** But I hope there are the same developers working on it or is it Microsoft's team? I hope it's the same because I don't trust Microsoft quite yet to make a good update.

Microsoft kind of made Halo so, i can't really see this beeing a bad thing.

So when MS buys tomb raider there's a big uproar but when it buys minecraft everyone seems to be happy ?
Other way around
They didn't really bough the Tom Raider IP. It was just exclusivity deal
Microsoft should of bought capcom instead of Mojang

And now the next buy?
Thank you maybe the console versions will actually be on par with PC

For those who are saying RIP minecraft, you might be right.
If Minecraft is aquired by Microsoft, that means goodbye OpenGL 2.1 and hello DirectX 11/12, that means it's going to be windows 7+ only. Everyone that uses Linux, OSX or win XP(yes alot of people do) can't play minecraft anymore.
"across all platforms". Phil Spencer is a true gamer! :D
Though I'll totally understand if Microsoft decided to make the sequel exclusive.
I just hope they give help to 4J studios on updates, they really need it. I'm tired of waiting 6 months for a feature update. I'm not saying 4J do a bad job but there just isn't enough people working on it to catch up with PC.
This will help minecraft very much :D
yea weird.. they must have like 1 person working on it. Mojang has about 3 people developing Minecraft and that is including designing the features. How slow must 4J Studios be to not catch up
Dude they make such stable updates 7 times, be grateful.
This aged terribly

I'll have no issues with this acquisition as long as you keep Minecraft as open as it has been (multi-platform, free and open modding/server hosting, f2p, no paid DLC, etc). However, if you go against this, while attempting to draw a profit, we'll find a better alternative.

Can everyone just shut up about Minecraft being destroyed?! We haven't even seen what they are going to do yet just wait and see.
Guys mojang was always with Microsoft so what different would it make if they brought it plus they're just selling mine craft through Microsoft so they mojang can still work on it
They keep supporting the PS version as well but we will probably see a lot more support for the Xbox version and a lot of Xbox and PC exclusive content.
This would be the perfect day to write a PS Blog post about Minecraft Vita's progress. Actions speak louder than words.
I love the people who are like MINECRAFT Is GOING TO CHANGE guys its going to be the same its just a different company owns it but Notch is still in charge of the game
Love it! I'm behind you all the way Microsoft!

If they take one wrong step, and sometimes it can be only one wrong step, then it could spell disaster for the Minecraft community and Microsoft itself. Be careful Microsoft.
Guys if Phil Spencer has been friends with mojang for like 3 years I can't see them doing something wrong.
That's were your wrong
Pretty much everyone who's interested owning Minecraft, already owns it.
Why cant Mojang of bought Microsoft - I will wake up to Minecraft365 tomorrow.

Brilliant that they kept it on all systems and PC, shows true devotion and respect.

well now we have bedrock
great ima switch back to java 1.8.9 now
Now Minecraft is going to be Xbox exclusive and you're going to need Xbox Live Gold to play.
Phil so the people who bot the game for Xbox 360/from day one should be able to download the game for free on Xbox one, can we make that happen?
Just remember guys this is a software company which has some hardware, i like xbox one and its great all the exclusive games which wouldnt happen without microsofts support. hopefully this will lead to better things like a sequel which most likely will be exclusive but still the original was big for a reason.
Minecraft now belongs to UUUUS MUHAHAHAHAHA
Why is everyone hating? He said it's still on all platforms. Also to the people who say Microsoft are not original and buy other companies, how do you think they got $80 billion? Of course they couldn't buy anything at the beginning
Translation of what he actually says: "Minecraft has become a phenomenon that we don't really understand but which made shitloads of money...which we at Microsoft love! So we partnered up with these nerds, that we normally wouldn't even look at, to keep making sure that money keeps rolling into out pockets!"
With Microsoft funding, the game will be able to push to new limits, so this is a good thing.
I hope this doesn't effect the development on Vita, I own the Xbox One edition so I'm not "fanboying", I just want that full Minecraft experience on the go!

if i liked minecraft i would be furious i assume others are though to have someone like microsoft take it over
Idk how to feel about this news yet. We just have to see as time goes on if it was the right move or not for the game makers.
for all the people out there worrying, jeb will still be the lead developer, so the updates aren't going to add things that will break the game
Going to guess that most of the comments will be about rare even though rare was dead on arrival when acquired by Microsoft.
AWESOME! Now maybe the console version will be updated more than once a year.
Please make this game bigger and bigger microsoft !!! (and stay the mods support)
Do better and enhanced gameplay more stuff to do more areas more items and alot alot more !!! improve the textures and everything... trust you microsoft !!! (owner of xbox one ,360 and windows 8.1)
Coming up next:
Minecraft II. Xbox One Exlusive. PC support dropped completely. No Mod support. No Dedicated servers.
Buy Gold Membership to get access to 3 custom skins and be able to build upto a maximum of 60 blocks in microsoft-hosted 4 player servers. Map Pack DLC released, including 5 maps from two different biomes. Several micro-transactions, like the in-game store, offers several useful items like cooked porkchops and diamond armor for reasonable prices starting from $1.99. Pre-order for $59.99 to get the Flaming Pumpkin-hat.
Right in the feels....
Did you actually watch the video and hear what he say? Like, at all?
its good that Microsoft have acquired Mojang/Minecraft. as they said in the video, they aren't removing the experience from other platforms, and they are going to be updating it on all platforms as well. Phil Spencer is a nice guy, he has the same motive that we all share, gaming.
Mojang has always been a company very comfortable with their audience. You're talking to a bunch of assorted gamers sitting in front of screens, not men in suits. Stop standing at attention, stiffly, and reading a script. Talk to us like we're humans. Personally, I have a lot of hope for Microsoft and Minecraft, however you're presenting your company as an uptight business, which will hardly help your already negative reputation among the majority of Minecraft players. I hope that this message gets heards, whether from me or anywhere else.
Found you here too? Wow, you're spreading like a virus all over the internet! :O
Sorry Eurogamer pony fanboys, but Microsoft is the POWER!!!
"Eurogamer". What is that suppose to mean? Everyone that is from Europe is bad?
CodPK2 Eurogamer is a site lol I dont mean Europeople!
Maria Helena Lol I knew it was a site but I didn't expect it to refer to the site.
I have a lot of respect for Phil Spencer
Agree make it xbox and Windows exclusive and aside from the pocket editon end support
I hope microsoft doesn't do anything stupid with minecraft, because we as community love the game as how it is now.
good job now lets forget about the ps edition for two years
Calm down people, do you really think Microsoft spent 2.5 bi just to mess up a game? Minecraft has one of the biggest communities, and they know the backlash they'll get if they make any kind of DLC or subscription fees, chill out guys, Microsoft know what it's doing.
As long as the game grows and improves and isn't made exclusive then this could be a good thing
Is this a bad thing or a good thing?
***** Why?
Bad very bad they will put micro transactions. This will make them gain the money they spend on it. NO more free updates and you'll have to pay more for a decent experience!
EpicGaM3R13 Ah darn does that mean they are gonna make us pay for updates!?!?!
*****
they have a big enough budget as is, i mean 16 million copies sold, $30 each ? even if it was $1 each they would be filthy rich (they also said so themselves)
So i think nothing good can come from this.
***** But I hope there are the same developers working on it or is it Microsoft's team? I hope it's the same because I don't trust Microsoft quite yet to make a good update.
Both start with (Mi) and both end with (Ft)
Edit: and both have the same amount of letters
