Very sad, disturbing news:

Mojang just sold their souls to Microsoft.  The MS press release specifies which platforms Microsoft will offer Minecraft on. Linux is missing from the list.

How long before advertising starts being added?  In-App Purchases?  Your maps taken for their profit?  Mod authors receiving Cease and Desist orders for violating Microsoft IP?

Getting "Realms" was on my to-do list.  I'm glad I waited.

The world got a little darker today.
