There are no Ron Swanson gifs that can express my anger right now.
I play on a Mac. That's going to get taken away. So is PS3 and PS4. All mods will turn into DLCs. This is the week that Minecraft dies. I hate everything.

It hasn't been confirmed, and it even says on the page you linked about Notch's past outings. Remember when Valve tried to buy MC? Mojang said no, so I wouldn't worry.

Minecraft 1.5.2 PC master race

I really doubt that they will pull the other versions of Minecraft. Future games will possibly be Xbox or Windows exclusive for example, like with Bungie and Halo, but not any established games. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Notch has always disapproved of Microsoft's practices, and has said he does not wish to sell his game (or, in this case, company) if I remember correctly.

If he does this he'll lose all my respect, but I doubt he will.

I'll cross my fingers for Microsoft to buy it then.

Dude, just because you don't like it doesn't mean others can't. If you're going to criticize the game, complain about something in the game, not the "obnoxious community" as you've said.

Uh... yes I did.

I just found another report that they might kill PS3 and PS4 versions and make the mobile version "easier for Windows Phones". I take back what I said, but I'm still worried that Mods will be turned into DLC.

I was kidding, even if I do think that it's overrated.

I think that Notch is actually the one getting the 2 Billion $. He wants to walk out on the company.

Yes, that's true, but my friend actually got really depressed over this.
I know how silly/creepy that sounds...

I know, but it's still kind of an insensitive thing to say when Minecraft fans are worried "lol".

I agree... even though what PhillipB said is true that comment didn't contribute to the conversation at all.

It's not about contributing
thats like me going to a thread about SBC having the possibility of closing if funds aren't paid and saying "lol I hope the funds don't get paid"
no need to make such douchey comments :P

OH NOOOO

among other things.
THE TRAIL MIX MOD...NOOOOOOOOOOO
Life is a nightmare

I doubt mods will be DLC since they're made by the community, and I doubt Microsoft will just hire a ton o' people to make mods for their game.

Besides, even if it does happen (which I doubt), this is PC, they can get around the restriction.

This is the week that Minecraft dies.
