I'm not going to ask what apparently makes Minecraft more terrible now than it was before, because I'll probably get a somewhat reasonable but cynical answer that I don't understand...but regarding Microsoft I don't see what the issue is. Even if you dislike new updates to the game, you can just not update. For the PC version, anyway. If they do pull the other ports, which honestly has a good chance of happening, then I can see why some people would be a little miffed if they happen to primarily play that version or wanted to. (Then again, it's not like being removed from the stores will stop some people.)
To be honest, I don't see this affecting too much. People tend to overreact to such news a little bit. -w-
