I can't see this being a good thing for anyone that cares about Minecraft at all. I wonder how long it'll be before: 1) The older Minecraft binaries suddenly become unavailable for download which will effectively kill many launchers, mods and modpacks 1a) Microsoft aggressively uses DMCA notices to kill off the modding community when the modding community tries to work around #1 by hosting the binaries themselves 2) Microsoft adds unnecessary integration with the win32 API via JNI to Minecraft in order to make it Windows-only despite the fact Minecraft is written in Java 2a) More aggressive DMCA usage to kill off the community attempting to work-around #2 Those are just off the top of my head but I'm sure I can come up with more not too far-fetched scenarios.
