Very sad, disturbing news:<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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?<br>
<br>
Getting "Realms" was on my to-do list. I'm glad I waited.<br>
<br>
The world got a little darker today.<br>
