    How do some of you play this game without breaks?

    I love this game, but whenever I make a new world I put about 30-40 hours into it and then I can't stand the game for the next 6+ months. I can't imagine how someone like DW20 keeps himself playing on a daily basis. My process is generally: - I start the world, go immediately into double ores...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion... The worst case would be Microsoft updating the official launcher requiring us to stay up to date, taking down all third party launchers/the ability to use them, sending cease and desists to modders/forge, and releasing paid DLC/Expansions that...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    Not to mention the thousands of people that literally make a living off Minecraft videos, mods, modpacks, server hosting, etc that will likely be affected by this. They have much smaller paychecks and most of them can't put on their resume they worked for Mojang/Minecraft. Thinking about the...

    Well, it could be worse. It could of been EA. :p

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    A+, it will be a game that vanilla Minecraft players will embrace as an incredible experience. For everyone that played modded minecraft, it'll be much more polished, but overall lackluster experience. A single development team can never compete with an entire modding community.

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    I've heard the merchandise department makes more than the actual game. I would imagine they are planning on rewriting the game, making the new game exclusive to XB1, MS Phones, and possibly Windows, then releasing paid content on a regular basis. Who knows, they could even be planning a...

    Careful we aren't allowed to insult people that aren't even members of this forum. :rolleyes:

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    I wasn't any more disrespectful than the people telling me my opinions were wrong but alright. I'd go back and quote some things said to me but it's not worth it. I'll just go elsewhere.

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    Apparently i've been "disrespectful" in this thread because apparently disagreeing with someone is now disrespectful. I've done nothing in here but state my opinions (as the thread title says), never personally insulted anyone, and only disagreed with someone else's opinions. Yet I did get...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    You don't think Microsoft's lawyers can't beat some random modder even if technically that modder didn't break any laws? This happens all the time. They most certainly can DMCA anyone who mods their game, even with 100% original code, with a simple EULA agreement. They will have one, all...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    Thanks for the video by the way, he's literally saying what i've been trying to this entire time. Doomsday stuff... Complete sell out meaning there was no deals, employees can be fired and replaced immediately. Notch had complete and final say as he owns more than all other employees combined...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    Exactly, the guy is a hypocrite and I don't see how people still stand up for him. It's not about the money, here's a $2.5B deal. Minecraft got too hard to manage, didn't open source it and let the community make something incredible. He could of done that YEARS ago if that was truely his...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    It's because he took the deal then posted about how it "wasn't about the money". He's trying to deny being a sell out, so naturally people are going to call him one. I find it hilarious that some people actually believe him. Nothing against people selling out, we all would of taken the deal, but...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    I still don't understand how vanilla Minecraft players take up the majority of the player base, even on PC. I tried doing it with 1.7, I lasted about 4 hours before getting bored. I think it'd be more fun if I didn't know what I was missing. I assume these people just do not know about mods or...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    I did paid for the game with the idea of being able to mod it for life. That's not entitlement, I own the game. Again, don't see the big deal whether or not I care about the employees. You think notch sat in front of Microsoft and stated "But my fans... they won't like this, so we aren't going...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    They made more working on Minecraft than most of us make at our jobs, unless they are all vastly underpaid. They have a nice resume and wouldn't have much trouble getting into another company. Yes it sucks for them, but i'm not going to worry about them. They are fine.

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    "I'm not optimistic about the future of modded MC necessarily, but hey, who knows. I'm not jumping ship and I'm not announcing anything crazy." He doesn't see it going well, and he has also "quit" modding multiple times in the past due to burn out/being too busy. Modding Minecraft is annoying...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    When we get a statement from Microsoft saying they are going to allow and encourage PC modding. I'd be very surprised if this doesn't greatly impact Minecraft modding.

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    Uh, no. I thought about that and it doesn't matter and I assumed it didn't need to be explained. What those same people work on will be decided by Microsoft now. Do you honestly think Microsoft will let them focus time and money on the mod API, or even keep mods in mind while coding patches/DLC...
