Well, at least we have other means of getting into Minecraft, like the Tekkit Launcher and ATLauncher...

Wow. I'd probably do the same if I were him. Minecraft is a cool little game, but I think it's getting way too popular and it being regarded as the best game ever is just way too much praise.

Guys, it's not going to die. I doubt Microsoft will try to change the development of the game. They will probably just fund it and gain profit from it.

I'm sure his dream wasn't entirely this one game. Just like his others, he probably would've intended to just finish it, put it out there, and move on to something else.
