    http://goo.gl/raU9aT The said article.
    I don't see this as a big surprise. Mojang is still an indie development team, so even with Minecraft success it could still be bought out.

    The only real business reason behind this from Microsoft that I can see is that people have really been wanting Minecraft on Nintendo consoles. Mojang gets bought out, less competition for Microsoft.

    I hope that too.

    Minecraft would die if they sell it.

    Minecraft update 1.9 after Microsoft buys Mojang: Microsoft logo instead of Mojang every time you open Minecraft.

    Mojang: New update guys, it's called "The Microsoft Update"! Bye.

    I really hope they don't sell mojang/minecraft to microsoft, mojang does a great job at what they did with minecraft and there is no reason for them to stop now.

    Minecraft and its community will be gloriously ****ed if Microsoft buys it. I seriously hope Mojang isn't even thinking about considering this. Because if this happens, you can just about kiss modding goodbye.

    Microsoft buying minecraft? What? Wait wait wait- you must have this wrong. What is this madness I hear of? Now I'm scared they're going to make it a windows only game.

    First EULA then the Bukkit thing and now this!? Can't we have a break for a sec .-.
    Microsoft is only buying it because it makes money. After that they will never touch it again and just sit back and enjoy the money they get.

    There might not be anymore updates ever. Or they might still let the people who work on it like Jeb or Grum still program and update it, but Microsoft will still own it

    .-. First they ruin Nokia, and now they Ruin MC? They are worser than EA! -.-
    Everything they will add will be kinda like this;
    Example Number 1: ''Do you want to minecraft with your friends? Then buy the Minecraft Online mode pass only for 13,37$ monthly!''
    Example Number 2:'Do you want to get rid of this ugly ''Steve'' skin? Then Buy The New Skin pack only for 10$! If you don't like the Skins of that pack, buy the Skin pack V2.0! Only for 20$!''
