Microsoft Buys Mojang for $2.5B.

So anyone following anything about Minecraft on Twitter, Reddit, etc. has no doubt heard the rumours about this.  Well now it's official.  Currently in-progress is a deal for Microsoft to buy Minecraft for 2.5 billion dollars.

Casual players probably won't have much to worry about.  Folks deep into the modding community such as myself, however... Only time will tell.  Who knows if Microsoft will allow modding on the level that Mojang did.  I'm also really curious as to the effects this will have on the game in general.  I know that at least one modder has already quit just because of the deal.
