    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    Actually, I was referring to BASIC. It's a little hard to track down the information these days, but... well, watch the movie Antitrust. They never say it flat out but it's basically the Bill Gates story, except that the protagonist actually doesn't become the richest man in the world at the...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    To be completely fair, Gates basically started his career with an act of IP theft and Jobs did give a significant amount to charity through Project Red (no, not the mod.) Bill (and Melinda) very much believed in direct philanthropy, while Jobs followed a philosophy of "reinvesting back into the...

    That sounds more like Apple or Samsung. I could definitely see that happening. "Samsung sues for infringement, forgets defendant is subsidiary" Sent from my Toaster using Tapatalk

    I'd be more concerned about Valve having it, actually. They're far more down with the microtransaction model, it seems. Although Workshop could have been nice. Sent from my Toaster using Tapatalk

    Yeah, but..... that's almost EVERY career. If you stop to think about it, in the Air Force, his future was even more emphatically dependent on things he could not control. Things like Sidewinder missiles for example. Sent from my Toaster using Tapatalk

    I think what's always kept me going on MC, particularly modded, is there's something for everyone. I manage a small server for my friends and in spite of sometimes having very different tastes and playstyles, we can all play together and enjoy in our own way. Sent from my Toaster using Tapatalk

    Let's Highlight Some Creativity

    I know, for a lot of people, things are looking pretty dark and grim right now. I myself remain cautiously optimistic, but I'd like to suggest we take a brief time-out to share some creative projects with each other from all over, just to remind ourselves that good or bad, no matter what...

    A fond farewell

    You will be greatly missed, Shneekey. I still have your mod guides, painstakingly copied into written books in-game, sitting on my library shelves; they shall be treasured as the rare and valuable works of a master.... and a friend.

    My my, but wasn't Bebopvox a very, very angry man today. Never seen him like that before. Not to say I don't understand where he's getting that from.
