    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    I'm not necessarily against that. I've never actually played any of them past the first; I don't feel any of their "upgrades" justified the purchase. Sent from my Toaster using Tapatalk

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    I don't like EA whatsoever and I've refused to buy their games for years, but "if 4 isn't successful we won't make 5" actually isn't an unreasonable thing to say. Sent from my Toaster using Tapatalk

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    I cannot help but feel you are rather determined to be bitter today, CBG. Please don't get me wrong; I'm making no attempt to discuss whether a sequel made by Microsoft would be good or bad and it's not a discussion I want to get involved in. I merely point out that the idea of a sequel is...

    Opinions on Microsoft buying Mojang

    Well, compare it with The Sims, if you will. There have been what, 4 or 5 of those? And strictly speaking they've never CHANGED; nor have they been sequels in the strictest sense. Yet it works. People buy the new games for the better graphics, improved performance, tweaked mechanics...

    Although the writer in question obviously doesn't entirely grasp their material, your statement isn't entirely true either. Minecraft 2 is absolutely a possibility. It would however be a TECHNICAL upgrade more than a brand new game. Minecraft in a better language, with better graphics, built...

    Thanks for linking the Bloomberg article, that was excellent. Also, my preferred version: "I hope somebody answers that phone. Because I f-ing called it!" Side note - if you watch the video there it's kind of funny to see the Bloomberg people unable to really grasp concepts like that games...

    It's probably more that this is the first weekend after kids/adult students going back to school; a lot of people are finding themselves busier than usual. Most people probably aren't even aware of this yet. Sent from my Toaster using Tapatalk

    I have to go with you on this one, midi. Not on every point maybe, but more or less. Steambox has Steam Workshop. Steambox has the entire Steam library. Steambox has no "console exclusive" wars to deal with. Steambox can be made and distributed by any company, with a variety of price points...
