Haha...well they may have to...
Because the software was not quite their "property" nor Mojang's. Apparently people are saying the owner of Minecraft's original code was Wesley Wolfe. He made the software OPEN SOURCE CODE...and free. That's where the problem lies.
What I'm confused about is how Minecraft even got people to PAY for the game...LOL The button should have said "donation" instead of "buy."
Well anyway, we'll know soon whether Minecraft is made free by Microsoft. Mojang sold the damn thing because they had a huge problem on their hands. Microsoft bought them because they knew that parents and people would buy their PCS with a free game offer because kids love Minecraft!
(Microsoft can earn profit from selling their pcs(+$400 + $27/pc); once you buy a pc from them you get a windows store code/windows serial activation code...
so technically Minecraft is free, but PCS won't be...
HAHAHAAHAA. Do you guys like my explanation?
