Now, although many people would disagree with me, I think that Notch selling Minecraft to Microsoft was a huge mistake. See, Minecraft started off as a quaint game. Now, I'm not saying that I'm a Minecraft hipster and I got it before it was cool - I didn't (I think it was around 1.5). But, I know that it eventually started to become too much and went downhill. I think it plummeted at 1.6. Like, I know that it was improved by adding stuff, but, it was fine before! Let's be honest... Who needed carpets? Who was the one that asked Notch for carpets? I mean, horses, yeah, why not, but carpets? No. I mean, I know that their were a few bugs in the game and a few things that made you rage, but, that was the beauty of the game. Also, they could have gone about updating the game by fixing it, not adding to it. And, I mean, after 1.6, maybe 1.7, they are just adding random stuff. Biomes, sure, I mean, why not, but they've gone about it the wrong way... Microsoft are going to continue adding things we don't need. I know it. You know. Notch knows it. Microsoft knows it. It's destined to happen. But, yeah. What are your views on it?
Thanks! :))

After beta 1.7.3
It killed the amazing terrain, the simple survival, yet simple freedom. Back then rules where rules. Lava was death. Now days every ultimate foe is over came by some kind of potion or magic.
Back then, the biggest desire to explore the world was: the world itself. Now its to get potatoes, a village, a temple, etc. The biggest concern back then when exploring the world was the world itself, and night. Now its about micromanaging your food, and getting super armor so you don't get destored in the night. Mobs where hard because darkness was trully dark, and mobs are trully hard. Now mobs are just waves of weird attacks. It went down hill when updates added random stuff, and not core parts. New updates are just tack ons instead of core parts of the game. The world has been logiced out too much. Qirks and charms fixed. Like the absurdity of bone meal.
In anycase, theres the only versions, and the open source clones. Terasology looks nice tbh.
