It is official.It's all probably going to be focused on the XBox edition. This is a follow up to @Daddy 's thread, he stated the pros and cons, well lets see how this goes. Share what you think below.
this is going to suck. although the 1.8 update is crap so minecraft can't really go any lower. IT WASNT just minecraft they bought Mojang.
Read the damn article carefully. Microsoft says they don't plan to change the game. This isn't the end of the world guys. Don't you understand that Microsoft wants money? If they add all this bull crap that ya'll are talking about, no one will buy the game. If you have to pay to play Minecraft, no one will play anymore. Microsoft wants money. Nothing is going to change.
Today is an incredibly exciting day for our team as Mojang and the Minecraft franchise join Microsoft. Minecraft is one of the most popular video games of all time, with more than 100 million downloads, on PC alone, from players since its launch in 2009. Minecraft inspires millions to create together, connects people across the globe, and is a community that is among the most active and passionate in the world. Our relationship with Mojang began when we initially talked to the team about bringing Minecraft to the console. Minecraft quickly became the top online game on Xbox Live, with over two billion hours played on Xbox 360 in the last two years. That working relationship set the ground work for other opportunities. We’ve long seen the incredible potential of Minecraft. At Microsoft, we believe in the power of content to unite people. Minecraft adds diversity to our game portfolio and helps us reach new gamers across multiple platforms. Gaming is the top activity across devices and we see great potential to continue to grow the Minecraft community and nurture the franchise. That is why we plan to continue to make Minecraft available across platforms – including iOS, Android and PlayStation, in addition to Xbox and PC. The Minecraft community is passionate and diverse, ranging across all ages and demographics. We respect the brand and independent spirit that has made Minecraft great, and we’ll carry on the tradition of innovation to move the franchise forward. Our investments in cloud, Xbox Live and mobile technology will enable players to benefit from richer and faster worlds, more powerful development tools, and more opportunities to connect with the Minecraft community. We’re excited to confirm that MINECON will continue next year. We’ll look to create even more ways for the vibrant community of YouTuber’s, innovators, bloggers and players to connect with each other – both in person and online. We will have much more to share in the coming months. The Minecraft team’s unique vision, creative energy and innovative mindset make them a perfect fit alongside our other global studios. Microsoft Studios includes 343 Industries, Turn 10 Studios, and Lionhead Studios just to name a few. These industry-leading game studios within Microsoft that have had great success with beloved games and massively popular franchises like Halo, Forza, and Fable. We’re excited to welcome Mojang to the Microsoft family and we are thrilled to support the success and longevity of Minecraft for years to come. Phil@XboxP3
If you are saying #PS anything towards Microsoft who owns Xbox and now Minecraft I guess you should be saying bye to Playstation Minecraft haha. But anyways that won't happen as Microsoft is going to keep Minecraft on PC and all other consoles.
Can we stop making threads like these.. Everyone already knows >.> And frankly, I don't care if Microsoft buys minecraft -.-
I know they are but Microsoft wants to improve Xbox material not just PC. I think Microsoft is more in to the Xbox then their computers. Just saying. Also, I didn't mean I was going to play MC on the PS4 I meant I am moving to PS4.
