I personally don't know if it'll even happen. It's all hype for the moment of what I know. Do I think it's a good idea? No. Mojang is it's own separate company and should remain that way. It is the spirit of minecraft and any influence of any amount of intensity from any company might send the game on a crash course..

I fail to form an opinion on something that:
A. Neither company has even confirmed that they are talking
B. The news articles say "a source with knowledge of the situation" which is basically journalist code for, "It could happen, you never know".

I hope, if this does happen, that Mac users can still play. I will cry myself to sleep, if I can't play.

While Microsoft is a rival of Apple and Sony, I doubt they're going to entirely remove the availability on those platforms. At most, maybe increase the price a bit or reduce focus and updates.

Let's take an example: Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Excel, etc. - the whole MS Business category.
They're available on Macs, but don't you have to buy them?

Mojang (possibly turning into Microjang LOL) makes a large amount of money off of the sales on Sony and Apple platforms.
And also, people who already bought the game on Sony platforms.. if they had the game removed or never updated again, Microsoft would lose a LOT of reputation and credibility, plus it'd receive a flood of complaints.

However, I still do hope that Mojang doesn't go through with this deal.
While they might gain extra developers and available resources, they would lose their individuality and room for creativity.

Ever heard of "Common Core" within the USA?
It's basically a big system for schooling. Every class has to go ___this way, and you have to teach it in ____this manner. It really restricts the teachers' freedom, and teachers hate it.

Before I form any opinions I need information. Real, confirmed facts. Because we really don't have anything right now.

This is the second time I have heard about it.
My opinion in this is I really don't want this to happen because I use to play Xbox 360 and Microsoft owns it I had a lot of problems in the past with it but that was a few years ago, so things may have changed. Still my opinion is the same. I just like Minecraft how it is .

All my teachers at school love common core, and teach everyone the same way. It seriously kills. And what sucks, is that I would've been in a private school atm, that had really good teachers, but I apparently need to "get an experience from it" or whatever the f*** my mom meant by that. It's a really bad thing, "common core". It's just making kids dumber.
