Also, to everyone talking about Microsoft: Microsoft had no input on the 1.8 update and they have had no input on Minecraft since, to my knowledge. They may have purchased Mojang but Mojang are still working independently, for all intents and purposes, so whatever you think of Minecraft it's not in any way Microsoft's fault.
