I don't think any of this has been confirmed yet, it's all rumors that's been on /r/minecraft for two days now... 2 billion dollars is quite a bad deal for Microsoft considering how most people already have the game.

But think for a second, it's Microsoft. If they indeed do purchase minecraft, I'm guessing they will start charging some sort of fee, or push a bunch of purchasable items/addons. There is still a ton of money to be made from it.

Was just about to say this, haha.

Sorry, but I'm not sure if I want to pay a monthly fee for Minecraft. Also, would this mean the END OF MAC SUPPORT???

Nah, it means end of PC support and MC 2 will be exclusively for Xbox One.

And in doing that they will lose thousands, maybe even millions of players.

I am concerned about this, as IF Microsoft does buy mojang, the game would either get much better, or much worse. And as, I would believe a large quantity of the minecraft player base, I am fearing the latter.

However Microsoft do also have the potential to make minecraft even better.

I guess we will just have to fasten our seat-belts and see where this roller coaster leads us.

Microsoft is purchasing Mojang to bolster their mobile revenues. They want Minecraft for Windows Phone.
