"... Build Minecraft for Linux and actively promote Linux. ..."
Is this a tech problem? Maybe the MS strategy is to move gaming to the XBox where it has greater control, where greater control >> revenue.
Minecraft is written in Java ~ http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Development_Resources http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Development_Resources there are also various ports with other code bases ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minecraft#Ports https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minecraft#Ports so it's available on Linux but I would guess Microsoft is the biggest source of revenue. So you're right it won't ruin the PC, just the coffers of the parent company.
