at least it's not nintendo that would shut down the streamers and youtubersJust remember some live streamers make a living off this,
To some people this is a real life problem and not just a game but also something that's paying the bills.
!MYOPINION!
As I said on Twitter, Best thing to do is wait and see.. Who knows could be just like Amazon/Twitch are already. Jeb/Dinnerbones could just keep going with that they planned+more with more support be hide them now..
The future is unknown and the unknown scares a lot of people.

Personally I think the best thing to do is wait and see what happens. Sure Microsoft's past history might have been shady, but there is always a chance that they might not mess up something this big.
you say "add support for multithreading" like it is easy, even if the code wasn't a quagmire it is not easy to multithread a largish application just for the multithreading
I don't exactly hate Microsoft, but I'm not too captivated by the idea of them buying MC either. I doubt this will have a major impact on vanilla MC, but other areas will probably get hit, particularly the modding community. I'm not going to jump to any conclusions however, I'm just going to wait this out and see how it unfolds over the course of a few months. For all we know, Microsoft could completely turn this around and surprise us. Only time will tell...
The fact that they are more focused for the XBL edition leaves me hope they might not touch the PC version much.
Now, everyone take a deepbreath and look up! The sky is not falling, it's just the dawn of a new day, just wait and see what happens. Details from MS about its policy towards modding and youtubers/streams should start filtering down fairly quick. You do not spend $2.5B on a franchise and not have a plan.

Yeah, but they could have done that instead of adding mutton and a couple of new blocks.
I really like how you put that... "there is always a chance they might not mess up something this big". Man, that is just a perfect analysis, and no I am not being sarcastic in the least! I LOL'ed, but those words perfectly describe the uncertainty of all of this right now.
"There's always a chance..." for just about anything in our crazy, mixed up world.

Also to add onto my opinion on Twitch/Youtube streams being in trouble > https://twitter.com/CaptainSparklez/status/511537605637197825
It's terms that Microsoft has on other games.

Well... Good by half of twitch! Good bye to the big let's players of MC on youtube. I retract my previous statement! THE SKY IS FALLING! *does a chicken impression*
I highly doubt they will alienate this large part of the community. I do think that this will not be applied to minecraft videos and whatnot. Honestly.
What do they care? We've already bought minecraft. The only way to make more money off of us is to make minecraft Pay-to-play or make us pay for updates. Most of us would probably leave the second they implemented that anyway.
Wow, he literally used the term "sellout." By the pig, this is getting more and more amusing by the minute!So yeah...
(LAW EDITED THIS DUE TO ME BREAKING A RULE OR TWO), you should know by now that actually understanding what you're talking about is the hallmark of a fool!
don't forget that several people got lifetime updates when they bought the game back when that was a thing
Never underestimate the power of unchecked corporate greed in our world. NEVER.
IMO obv. Long live the indie/open source folks who "get it"!
You are welcome for that lovely editing I did..
Definitely not underestimating them. I am just saying that it would not make sense in any way to alienate that large part of a community as they make videos which people will watch which will attract more people and cause more purchases. It's like free advertising for them. Not only that but it's a new CEO if he screws this up its going to look bad. 2.5 billion no matter what even for microsoft is not pocket change. I believe they will attempt to do good.
