I noticed they didn't mention continuing support for the Linux version. what about that? what about me?

[–]flukshun 46 ポイント47 ポイント  (16子コメント)

Microsoft supporting a linux client. right.

[–]thejam15 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Surely they will support the Mac OS client right? Right guys?

[–]Rinkana 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (5子コメント)

Microsoft is actually a good contributor to the Linux source...

[–]sgtfrankieboy 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

But... but.. the MS circlejerk.

[–]NazzerDawk 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

A lot of people don't understand that competition in the PC space doesn't work the way it does in movies or the way it did in the early days. It's in Microsoft's best interest to expand the whole IT sphere. Hell, they run Linux on many of their own systems.

Linux isn't even competition for PC OSes right now. It's market share remains low-low-low on the spectrum.

[–]TheSecretExit [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

Correct - Linux on servers is the only real competition Microsoft has from them, and it's not like sysadmins play Minecraft on production servers.

[–]FeepingCreature [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

Remember ISO.

[–]flukshun [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

This gets said alot, and with due reason:

flukshun@illuin:~/dev/linux.git$ git log --author="microsoft" --oneline | wc -l
921

Until you start noticing that almost every contribution is to add Hyper-V extensions to linux guests so that they run better on Microsoft Hyper-V, a competitor to KVM/Xen virtualization, which happens to be where linux has a stronghold:

flukshun@illuin:~/dev/linux.git$ git log --author="microsoft" --oneline | grep -viP "hv|hyper" | wc -l
11

11 whole commits that aren't directly related to hyper-v.

Pretty sure they still make Skype for Linux.

[–]Ununoctium118 [非表示スコア]  (3子コメント)

But skype for linux is shit.

[–]get_N_or_get_out [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

I've never used it on Windows so I guess I don't have much to compare it to, but I thought it worked pretty well.

[–]gschizas [非表示スコア]  (1子コメント)

So, it's at the same level as Windows :)

[–]Rocktone [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

It's more shit, if that were possible.

[–]MegaJump99 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (3子コメント)

It is no longer updated, and as a result, has stopped working.

[–]yochaigal 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I received an update to Skype quite recently on my Ubuntu laptop.

[–]MegaJump99 [非表示スコア]  (1子コメント)

Oh. I thought it was discontinued.

[–]disturbedfood [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

Now it requires PulseAudio though..

[–]nonethewiser 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Nuts to that. I doubt we'll even be able to run our own servers within a year.

[–]thevoiceless 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (1子コメント)

As long as they don't stop writing the game in Java, I think we should be alright

[–]GNeps [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

They'll add Windows Live integration which just plain not work on Linux and thus we're fucked.

[–]0rinx 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (3子コメント)

There’s no reason for the development, sales, and support of the PC/Mac, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, Vita, iOS, and Android versions of Minecraft to stop.

looks like linux support is the first thing on the chopping block, maybe they are looking to increase the number of servers running windows.

[–]mrv3 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Linux -> Vita -> PS3 -> Mac -> Android -> PS4 -> iOS

In terms of which clients get dropped from updates

Then E3 2016 announcing Minecraft 2.0 for the Xbox One and quetly PC for it's quietly times EXCLUSIVE!!!! With an all new free to play model in which players give us money and we give them diamond pick axes. ISN'T IT GREAT! LOOK AT ALL THE FUN AND TOTALLY NOT SCRIPTED SKYPE CHAT WITH NOTCH! NOTCH! NOTCH! Please don't leave us.

[–]Bratmon [非表示スコア]  (1子コメント)

Notch is leaving the company, so they probably won't rely on him for marketing.

Other than that, that sounds about right.

[–]mrv3 [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

Notch is leaving but they might have had

"Farewell stage appearance" in the contract so that Notch makes an official stage hand off so it all seems like a great idea and won't at all lead to Minecraft being taken over by a big team and made into a yearly game.

[–]creeperbros 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I know right, I just kinda noticed that. Either that or when they say pc they mean the three major OSes

[–]Raymi 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (1子コメント)

then why say PC/Mac? I'm backing up 1.8. Might be the last version that runs properly on linux.

[–]creeperbros 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Oh, crap. Well of course skype on linux exists but runs like shit. Hopefully minecraft doesn't receive the same fate.

[–]Usually_agrees 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm guessing that eventually a third person will have to make a crossover client for Linux

[–]dochoncho 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Supporting Linux is merely a side effect of the fact that Minecraft is written in Java. Short of porting it to C# or some other windows only garbage language they're stuck with a Linux version.

[–]Raymi 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (1子コメント)

...unless they add dependancy on a windows-only library.

[–]dochoncho 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I guess there must be Java support for directx...

[–]GNeps [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

Not when they add Windows Live integration.

[–]thevoiceless 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

As long as they don't stop writing the game in Java, I think we should be alright

[–]caracasa 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

As long as they do not make fundamental changes to the code base and cut support for the StateOfTheArt Modding "API" there will be IMHO a way to run it on linux.

Beyond that? OpenMinecraft anyone?

[–]eppic123 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's still Java after all. It doesn't need magic powers to keep it cross plattform.

[–]u83rmensch [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

another reason why im fucking done with minecraft. tired of all these big name companies acquiring the small guys. where I live, most shops are big name comapnies that fill stripmalls and huge franchies. our city is literally giving money to people to start new local businesses because the money isnt staying here. No one can compete with these big name outlets and all the small "mom&pop" shops close in less than 6 months because rent is too god damn high and no one shops there. I see mergers like this as the same thing. Mojang sold out a successful small studio that was community based to a large company that well.. isnt. MS does whatever the fuck they want and dont bother checking to see if the community likes it or not. take win 8 and xbox one for example. windows 8= full of stupid ideas. xbox one, originally had that drm that console players were not ready for..

fuck everything about this.

[–]MairusuPawa [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

Microsoft never (rarely) mentions Linux. They consider Linux to be the real competitor out there, not Mac; Mac is merely a red herring.

This can be seen in the old Halloween Documents for instance.

There’s no reason for the development, sales, and support of the PC/Mac, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, Vita, iOS, and Android versions of Minecraft to stop.

PC consists of Linux and Windows. So, I guess (and hope) they'll continue to support it.

[–]AcerRubrum [非表示スコア]  (0子コメント)

Linux users are a tad bit inflated here on reddit. I can only imagine maybe 0.1% of minecraft players worldwide play on Linux. If it's not worth spending the human resources to upkeep Linux support for that small fraction, I can see them writing off the Linux client. Sry
