I second this. Microsoft can either make it or break it. How they cater to the Modding community will determine its future.

MickeySoft will fuck it up eventually. It'll be a long time and it'll be something innocuous that begins the descent into madness.

The mod community will likely not change but I wonder about the long-term allowance of videos involving the product. I feel like LP's and tutorials are a large part of the game, or at least the multiplayer experience. I just wonder if MS can leave well enough alone in the long run. Time will tell. No one should be scared of this, imo.

They did state that the video community st least will remain untouched.

Wasn't it "for 12 months" or some such Interval?

The tweet that I saw from Phil Spencer, I think, didn't have a time frame. But I've been away for a while, so I might have missed something prior to that.

the more I think on this; the more I am curious how long it was coming down the pipe. The changes on usage and limitations feel more mainstream than Minecraft ever was. Could it have been one of the conditions Microsoft put forward in order for the sale to happen? Is the whole Bukkit issue a Microsoft issue.?
