Spencer Talks Minecraft 2.0

Following the announcement of Microsoft's $2.5 billion acquisition of Swedish developer Mojang and the chart-topping Minecraft franchise in September, some wondered how the Xbox maker would grow the brand going forward. A sequel was suggested by some, but in a new interview, Head of Xbox Phil Spencer says the company must "meet the needs" of the existing Minecraft community before potentially expanding the franchise. He also reminds gamers that the deal has not yet closed (it is expected to by the end of the year) and that Mojang is still in control of the series.

I did think something like charging for a second release of the game would be something Microsoft eventually did. Will it annoy people, maybe? It seems like something that is far off and is only something that is being discussed. Right now it seems like he wants to unify the mod system to try and bring it to the console versions. I am interested in this as the console games are always a lot further behind and no where near as extensive.

I really don't see people going for a Minecraft 2.0, specially if it don't port your content from the first one right. I really do believe MS is buying another dud game series.

I don't see people bothering with 2.0 either if they have to buy it all again. Too many mods, wouldn't be worth it.
