wow so it seems we are on the verge of an intresting merge? (rhymes much)

 

 

 

basically there aren't any comments from either sides yet, but ill keep this updated, im intrested to  see how this turns out 

 

how do you guys think it'll turn out ? , new markuss persson game exitement ? i would like to see mojangs attitude infect microsoft as opposed to the other way around which would basically make it awesome , much better windows coming soon if that happens , or nothing happens and microsoft just kinda leaves them alone but feeds them money nibbles

There will be plenty of modders adding stuff for a while now.

Merger? They are not even close to the same size for it to be considered a merger.

 

Also repost.

He has opinion input, he does not control the actions of the company.

Hmm, I can see this being bad and good. Things like console exclusivity and misdirected priorities for the sake of guaranteeing sales would be bad, however I haven't really been interested in Minecraft since the Beta 1.8 update, it's seemed to have just bloated up with useless content from there. 

Having Microsoft own Mojang and give Minecraft some focus and clear direction for the games development, or even the choice to stop development and finalise the game as a complete product could be a really good thing as well. 

I'm not sure about the effect it would have on Mojang's other titles though. 

CPU- 4690k @4.5ghz / 1.3v    Mobo- Asus Maximus VI Gene   RAM- 12GB GSkill Assorted 1600mhz   GPU- ASUS GTX 760 DCUII-OC 

Storage- 1TB 7200rpm WD Blue + Kingston SSDNow 240GB   PSU- Silverstone Strider ST75F-P

i don't want to see mojang influence MS, I don't need a fucking voxel based OS that is so low resolution

Minecraft runs at your monitors resolution though , I don't get WTF your talking about.

Textures are 16 by 16 but you can change those and there is in game support for changing them.

Minecraft does have a low polygon count though.
