What are your opinions?

My personal stance*

Oh god oh god oh god no.

Have you seen any mods for Xbox games? They really, really don't like mods. At all.

Please keep it civil

*sigh* Is there ever a time where shit isn't hitting the fan?

Is this even confirmed to happen?

No confirmation from Mojang. I hope it's not, but there's going to be a discussion on it whether or not it does happen.

First facebook buys Oculus, now this?

Maybe the title should be changed, as it is it sounds like a finalized thing, when it's really just an unsubstantiated rumor of negotiations to do so right now.

Done.

It would be doom for Minecraft; Microsoft has their head way too far up their own ass.

Any official response from twitter or anything yet?

If Microsoft will realize that Minecraft is unlike any game they have Dev'd in the past, and that a good modding program is literally the best thing as far as extending game life, therefore improving ratings and causing people to tell their friends about Minecraft. I'm no marketing major, but I'm pretty sure Mojang has made some seriously dumb business decisions. Hopefully, this means Mojang becomes an ultimately better business with a larger talent base for the coding, among other perks.

If Microsoft does it wrong and closes Minecraft to vanilla+small, bad mods, I sure as hell won't play and I'm certain it'll be negative for everybody.

Tl;Dr, This could be done right and be great or it could be done poorly and be awful.

Imo, it really doesn't matter that much. We stick with Minecraft as is, Mojang does a poor job. We change to Minecrosoft, it could bad or good. It's pretty much a coin toss. One way or another, it's not going to be a good time.

But then again this is just a rumor so far. Neither side has commented on the issue so I expect nothing either way.

 

[kikisp]

why do you think that mojang is doing bad job?

Potentially they could get a far better engine/ get some stuff coded properly. although this may be good or bad for mods depending...

And I think it'll be an extreme. Which one, nobody can really guess at the moment.

 

[Bigpak]

Honestly I really hope this does not happen, as we could just see mods disappear completely however I could be being paranoid. Windows Live games or whatever it was *Shudders* That was the spawn of satan.

Oh dear god. Does this mean they will start redacting support for non-windows devices like Linux and Mac and the iDevices?
