Kind of not feeling the whole deal since they are losing a lot of the original team who made the game what it is. Not really a huge money loss for a company like Microsoft anyway in the end, but I am interested to see how it works out for them. Any info out on what they plan to do with the acquisition?

this sucks because notch got automatically fired after selling mojang and minecraft so it won't be the same. i mean its 2.5 billion on his pocket but still lets see where microsoft takes minecraft

Not a good move for the game itself

Yeah, I feel bad for all the hardcore Minecraft fans.
