2.5 fucking billion dollars for what is basically a virtual lego game. i know most of you don't care but that's fucking crazy to me. kudos to the developers for selling it, who the in their right mind would turn down 2.5 billion.

One of the (but definitely not the) best and most entertaining 'sandboxes' out there.

That price tag is insane, though. I didn't think Notch would ever sell, but then again I didn't think anyone would try to buy it for that much. Fucking hell. That is serious fuck you money.
Time to back up my current installation and get the user-created offline launcher to avoid whatever zany ways MS fucks it up from here on out.
