>>8049780>after being acquired by microsoft it has gone to shitIf only the community hadn't actively threatened Notch to the point he felt he had to sell his company...
I mean yes at that point Jeb had long since taken over the games day-to-day development, but that development process was still kinda following Notch's original vision for the game
Now though with MS pulling the strings most of what's since been added by the games dev. team has been barely disguised 'filler', almost like they're compensating for a lack of actual direction by trying to throw whatever half-baked ideas they come up with at it just to show the community that they're still 'developing' the game, when in reality they probably could have gotten away with calling the game done at v1.8.9
>>8050038>Just play older versions of the game.Actually went back and played alpha 1.2.6 recently, and other than constantly forgetting I couldn't sprint or crouch while also having my retinas burned out by the OG extra bright acid green grass texture, it was actually kinda fun having only a very limited palette of blocks to work with while also having to deal with the rather janky early terrain generation.
