This is good..

Hopefully they retool the game so that it is optimized using GPU physics... (http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/bye2-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862494)


As it stands,  even my 4.8ghz 3770k/4770k chokes..   my 5ghz 2500k ****s a brick everytime something crazy happens with fire..

well considering xbox 1 has an ultra weak CPU,  I think they're definitly going to NEED to use AMD-mantle to accelerate the physics..   which is great news for all minecraft players with AMD hardware..

F---u nvidia and your ****ty madvr support

you ever play one of those levels where most of the map burns down.. and a big hole explodes in the ground...   Minecraft is super CPU heavy  in these situations.

As long as they don't change the modding policies it'll be fine.

$2.5bn

What would you do with that amount of money? I sure as hell wouldn't buy Mojang.

The "community" are worried Microsoft are going to ruin the game. I can safely say it was ruined about 2 years ago when experience came into the mix

Minecraft became **** when it became overpopulated with angry 12 year olds

I have 8k hours on that game, and I can tell you it's only gonna get worse from now on.

Best $20 I ever spent, though.

Brilliant move for Notch, if you ask me. The core developers get a nice big payout and the freedom to do their own thing again.

MS is making a ton of bad decisions recently. The franchise won't grow much more than it already has, especially with the core guys gone.

I won't be installing any more updates to minecraft any more, but that's fine with me. It's pretty much complete anyway. There'll also still be mods.
