Why the hostility towards Notch? Minecraft will keep working on Windows 8 (just not in the Store), nothing to fear, move on.[1] It's equally unreasonable to love Microsoft as it is to hate it.
[1] Well, it probably won't work on Windows RT because only Windows Store things work there, but then that would likely require a total rewrite of the Java&OpenGL game to C++&DirectX (or another Microsoft-approved solution) anyways, and Minecraft (as opposed to Minecraft Pocket Edition[2]) is not suitable for tablet touch control anyways.
[2] Which is developed by another firm.
- watty 14y agoI think any hostility you see is due to his comment of "I'd rather have minecraft not run on win 8 at all than to play along.". He'd never be dumb enough to do this so why say it, and why stir the pot with everyone who thinks Minecraft really really might not run on Windows 8?
- BCM43 14y agoWhy would he never be dumb enough to do this? It seems that he does not see it as a moral decision, and I'm guessing he's betting that windows 8 adoption will never be that large.
