Like s00percam said don’t take everything especially on SRK so seriously, didn’t expect you to get that upset at me poking fun at you, people here make fun of shit I say all the time whether their jokes actually make sense or not I can still laugh at myself.
As for the debate between linearity vs sandbox:
@Kromo you’re welcome.
DAMN!
Confirmed: Microsoft has purchased Mojang http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/15/6151477/microsoft-minecraft-mojang-acquisition

oh boy…well that sucks for Sony owners of that game now since they will probably no longer get updates for it. And I’m guessing they’re going to D-list that title on PSN and any chance of that franchise actually showing up on a Nintendo console has been tossed out of a window. Should be interesting to see what Mojang does from here and whether this was a good buy for Microsoft or not and not just a ‘we don’t want our competitors to have this so tosses money’ type deal.
CEO Kaz Hirai with the gold once again.
I find it silly that Microsoft will drop over 2 billion on a company just for Minecraft. That gravity train will come to an end eventually. They better hope that scrolls takes off like Hearthstone.
I don’t know. It seems to me that Minecraft is the “Mario” of this generation’s kids, and Mario is still popular 30+ years later. The question is whether Microsoft can keep that momentum going for virtually forever.
I found this interesting:

I can respect someone who doesn’t want to own a company that’s getting too big. I recently became a shareholder of a newly formed company, and I’d probably walk away too if it got too big.
I remember 10 years ago when Runescape was the hottest shit going with kids and then it disappeared from the face of the earth. That’s kinda how I see Minecraft though it will longer due to how merchandize the series is.
In order to make the most out of this purchase Microsoft needs to act fast start working on Minecraft 2: Electric Boogaloo while the game is still fairly hot with the general public.
Phil Spencer confirms that Minecraft will remain available on other platforms
what about vids?
so MS bought minecraft cause they were to lazy to make their own gaming IP with creativity like sony did with LBP?
They were to lazy to make their own Minecraft clone like Sony too. It’s easier for them to acquire something that’s already printing money.
I don’t think it’s a matter of laziness. I mean, why make a clone when you can own the original?
Surprisingly people still play Runescape…or at least I see a bunch of twitch streams for it when I browse random channels.
It’s still pretty hot. My half-sister plays a decent amount and she’s not ever gonna stop. They have an expansion pack for the first time in history.
Was Re 4 ever released on Xbox 360 on disc in america?
Nope, only Japan & Asia regions saw physical release.
Thank god, would’ve been an massive error had they pulled support from mobile platforms.
Does it still look like it’s from the mid 90’s?
What the fuck would a Minecraft sequel even be? With the PC modding community in full swing there’s hardly shit to even add to the game. Minecraft 2: 50% more squares! Like what the fuck could they do? They’d never put super high budget into looks because anything past he blockiness would take away from the signature the look has. I’m not saying its a good one but pretty much anything in square form is “minecraft style”
