Ya, this. I was confused as to why it was a big deal? But I guess not everyone knows that, but still don't get why it would be a big deal....

Only thing I can think of is team EZ, which is Zisteau and Etho.

And I've seen that splash a few times before.


yeah me too but, humor is nothing if not timing and context.

As long as Microsoft stays away from meddling with modding, I guess I'll accept this turn of events.

I wonder how they plan to extract 2.5 billion in value from the user base.

Statistic say there are less than 20 million users.

That's a lot in capes to sell (if stat page were accurate I admit it seems low)

There's the terrifying possibility that they're going to start some exploitative F2P regime. Although that's one of many terrifying possibilities.

If it adds content.... well that might be for the best. The game has been stagnating for years.

I think there is more than that, they'd need to sell 1000$ of freemium content to each user just to get on par

Well, they did buy an entire studio, not just Minecraft. So there are other branches for them to make money I guess.

Okay, there seems to be a current thread of discussion going on, but I kinda have a question: Anybody here know the ins and outs of 1.8's customized worldgen thing? Trying to make a flooded sort of map that doesn't go to the insane levels of the water world preset. Just something I could use for an adventure map. Sea level's not an issue so much as biome stuff (Trying to cut out cold ones) and having consistent 'shallows'.
